A fire ritual at night: a tall flame rises from a wood fire pit (homa) on a wooden platform with a yellow edge and dry straw at its base. A young man in a white dhoti-style cloth and a beige turban holds a stick toward the fire, wearing a long rudraksha mala and bangles. Beside him, a second person in an orange-saffron garment with a rudraksha mala looks toward the flames, and another figure stands behind the fire in the smoke. The background is dark and smoky.2013-10-15ADIKAILASA on 11/20/20202020-11-20September 30 20132013-09-30September 30 20132013-09-30December 02 20162016-12-02March 06 20162016-03-06 +1 copiesA tall, bright flame rises from a fire pit or homa altar at night, with a brass or copper bowl at the left edge and scattered red flowers and marigold petals along the low altar surface.

A large brick fire pit blazes with bright orange flames and rising smoke. In the foreground, a bare-chested priest in white dhoti and yellow-trimmed shawl pours an offering into the fire with his right hand. A gold-coloured bowl and a gold ladle with a bird-headed handle sit on the pit's edge. Behind the fire, several seated devotees wear white clothes and orange shawls, one older man with white hair in the centre.
