His eyes are closed and his hands rest in a meditative mudra or chant posture. Behind him, two boys with white tilak marks sit in red clothing. On the floor before him is a gold cloth with a brass cup, a small brass bowl with offerings, a brass lamp and a clear plastic container. Appearance cues are limited to a shaved head, glasses and robe, so the identity is uncertain.2013-09-20April 30 20152015-04-30A photograph of a homa fire ritual in a hall.
