An outdoor homa at a fire pit lined with wooden planks, with flames rising from the square pit. A man in a rust-orange dhoti and wrap pours liquid from a small silver vessel into the fire. Beside him a young man in white dhoti and shawl with a rudraksha mala and red-brown armbands sits cross-legged, holding a ladle over the fire. On the right a seated man in a white dhoti wears a bright pink turban and rudraksha beads, with an arm band, facing the fire. Behind them devotees in orange and maroon robes sit on the ground under a red-walled shelter, with a live-streaming camera on a tripod. Brass lamps, silver vessels, marigold garlands and a kalasha stand in the foreground, and a deity murti garlanded with flowers is visible at the right edge.
