November 02 20132013-11-02April 14 20182018-04-14A close view of a fire ritual at a square stone fire pit. Tall flames rise from burning wood at the center, with offerings of rice and red and orange flower petals scattered on the stone edges. A bare arm, wearing a bangle and a dark bead bracelet, holds a bundle of straw or grass over the fire, and a brass vessel sits behind it. Yellow marigold garlands blur in the background. No face is visible, and no one can be confidently identified as a person. The scene is a homa or yagna.2016-09-09June 04 20182018-06-04 +1 copiesSeptember 24 20122012-09-24September 27 20172017-09-27 +1 copiesMay 02 20172017-05-02May 02 20172017-05-02Close photo of a ritual fire burning above a shallow silver tray on a stone ledge. A hand holding a bundle of sticks or herbs feeds the flame, which rises bright orange with sparks.

No people's faces are shown; the scene centres on the fire offering.2012-01-08September 19 20152015-09-19September 30 20142014-09-30Close photograph of a burning bundle of dried grass or herbs on a round brass plate held by two hands at the right edge, the flames rising high.
