March 17 20192019-03-17Close photo of a homa fire burning in a square fire pit built of reddish-orange bricks with white painted geometric markings on the rim. Flames rise from dry wood and sticks inside the pit, with a small metal cup holding incense sticks at the back. Red rose petals and flower offerings lie on the brick edges and in a flower tray behind, and a brass vessel with a long handle sits at the left. Colourful cloth and a mat are visible in the dim background. No people are visible.2019-03-17January 05 20182018-01-05May 15 20162016-05-15June 06 20102010-06-06January 05 20182018-01-05Close view of a homa fire pit built from stacked red and yellow bricks, with tall orange flames rising from the centre. Flower petals, scattered rice grains and a few incense sticks lie on the brick ledges around the fire. A polished copper bowl with engraved floral borders sits on the left beside a small brass pot, both holding offerings. Blurred red and maroon cloth appears in the background. No people are visible, only the ritual setup of the fire offering.2016-01-02 +1 copiesClose photo of a brick-lined fire pit with bright orange flames rising from its centre during a ritual. The square brick rim is decorated with white painted lines and scattered red flower petals and small offerings. Thin incense sticks lie across the pit. At the top edge, the sleeve of a white-clad person and a hand reach into frame near papers. The scene suggests a homa fire ceremony, shown without visible people beyond the hands and white garments.2010-06-06A 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.2016-09-09September 27 20172017-09-27 +1 copiesSeptember 19 20152015-09-19Close photograph of a brick-lined fire pit with a tall orange flame rising from its opening, scattered rose petals on the bricks, and a blurred dark-clothed arm and hand reaching in from the upper left.
