A close view of a homa ritual laid out on a silver tray over a striped red, green and blue woven mat. A person in orange robes and bangles sits at the left, holding a small ladle over the offerings. The tray holds small silver and brass bowls of rice, flower petals, yellow and red blossoms, and a burning oil lamp with incense sticks. Beside it stands a coconut with mango leaves and a white-lined clay pot, a kalasha-style vessel, tied with string. The scene is a homa fire ritual.2020-11-20April 26 20182018-04-26 +1 copiesApril 26 20182018-04-26 +1 copiesA brass puja setup on a red cloth with a hand placing a flower on a coconut at a ritual.
