A close photograph of a homa fire ritual in a temple setting. A bright flame rises from a brick fire pit in the centre, surrounded by yellow marigold and chrysanthemum garlands and red flower offerings. Behind it stands a gilded ornate shrine or deity murti framed by a golden arch, draped with a cream silk cloth. A polished silver bowl sits on the left of the fire, and small brass vessels and a lamp rest on the stone. A bare arm with bangles reaches in from the left edge, hand extended over the flames. No people's faces are visible and no other individuals appear in the frame, so no a person candidate is present.2016-03-27September 21 20172017-09-21 +1 copiesSeptember 21 20172017-09-21 +1 copiesNovember 01 20172017-11-01March 27 20162016-03-27Close view of a homa fire burning in a brick fire pit, flames rising high and bright.
