A homa fire ritual at night beneath strings of multicolored fairy lights. A bearded man in a deep red dhoti-style garment with a green and gold border and a pink shawl sits on an ornate silver seat, pouring liquid from a long ladle into a fire pit with bright flames. He wears a red rudraksha mala and a red forehead mark. Around him, several bare-chested priests sit in white dhotis with rudraksha malas, and a man in white clothes and a white shirt holds a microphone and sits beside a brass plate of flowers and dried sticks. A copper vessel, a silver lamp, and a red-and-white floral offering tray lie on the yellow platform.
