A large outdoor homa or yagna gathering at dusk, with hundreds of seated devotees, mostly women in colourful saris and salwars, arranged in rows on bare earth. Each participant sits before a small square fire pit built of red bricks, with flames and smoke rising from the pits. Many wear white, while others wear orange, blue, pink and purple. Tall lamp posts with lights stand among the rows, with trees and a low building beyond and a cloudy sky above.
