A photograph of a blazing fire burning in a rectangular brick-lined fire pit at night, with bright orange flames rising over ash, scattered flower petals and small offerings such as coconut pieces or fruit. Dark background with faint plates and a tray of items at the upper left. No people are visible; this appears to be a homa or yagna fire ritual setting.

A close photograph of a sacred fire burning inside a square pit lined with reddish-orange bricks at night. Tall orange and yellow flames rise from scattered wood or kindling at the centre, with small red petals or flower bits resting on the brick edges. The background is dark, with blurred warm lights and a metal bowl of red offerings at the right. No people are visible. The fire pit suggests a homa or yagna ritual.

A photograph of a brick-lined fire pit at night with tall orange flames rising from the burning logs inside. Marigold flowers sit on the brick rim at the back, and a dark metal vessel with a beaded string rests at the lower left. The surrounding area is dark, with no people visible. This appears to be a homa fire offering during a Navaratri Chandi Homa ceremony.

Night photograph of a homa fire ritual at an ashram. A rectangular brick-lined fire pit holds a large blaze with flames leaping upward, and a second raised metal fire vessel on the right burns with a tall flame. The surrounding area is dark; faint, indistinct figures in pale clothing are visible in the background behind the fire, though they are too dim to clearly distinguish. The scene suggests a fire ceremony such as a Gyanagni or Thrisuparna homa.
