A homa fire burns inside a yellow-banded brick fire pit on a floor covered with striped red, green and blue textile. Behind it, a bare-chested priest in white dhoti and a rudraksha mala stands at the left edge. Four women stand in a row in saris: one in green, one in red with gold border, one in red and green, and one in purple with yellow blouse. A brass oil lamp stands at right and a brass bowl sits near the fire. A camera on a tripod is visible in the background. No one in the scene is identifiable as the a person with appearance-based cues.
