A large fire blazes in a homa pit inside a pavilion with carved golden wooden pillars and an ornate carved throne-like seat behind it. Flames rise high from the pit, which is edged with stone and decorated with white kolam-style patterns, and a pile of green unripe fruits sits beside it. Garlands of white flowers and red, green and yellow beads hang on the carved seat, and a patterned red and blue cloth drapes a pillar. No people are visible in the frame. The scene shows a fire ritual.
