A figure in saffron-orange robes sits behind a rectangular brick fire pit with a tall flame rising from it, hands raised in prayer near the face. Pink and red flower petals and green leaves decorate the stone-edged pit, and brass vessels and a small offering dish sit to the right. The figure's orange robes and beaded necklace are visible, but the face is not clearly shown, so identity is uncertain.2007-09-17January 22 20142014-01-22A night-time photograph of an outdoor fire ritual. A large open flame rises from a fire pit at right, with offerings in brass bowls and plates of fruit in the foreground.

Several seated figures in white clothing are around the fire, one with his hands together at left. A small decorated altar or chair stands at right, and tents are visible in the background. The scene suggests a homa or yagna with offerings.2005-05-25January 22 20142014-01-22
