A homa fire burns in a fire pit in front of a decorated shrine under a yellow canopy festooned with red, yellow, purple and white floral garlands. Flames rise from logs and a green banana bunch and coconut-like offerings lie at the base, with a green silk sari with gold border in the foreground. Behind, several deity murti are dressed in red and green garments, adorned with silver ornaments and flower garlands, with brass kalasha pots and marigold offerings on a red-draped platform. No people are visible. This appears to be a chandi homa fire ritual during navaratri celebrations.
