A photograph of a Chandi Homa fire ritual at night. Two bare-chested men in orange-saffron dhotis stand at a large flame. The man on the left, with long dark hair and a beard, holds a brass vessel wrapped in red cloth above the fire and wears layered rudraksha malas and a silver pendant. Behind him another priest in orange cloth is partly visible. On the right a young person with matted hair, bare-chested, wears rudraksha beads, a chain necklace and an orange-red cloth, with hands pressed together at the fire. Behind them stands an ornate golden arched shrine niche containing a dark deity murti decorated with a crown and garland. Smoke and sparks rise into the dark hall. Printed on the lower area is a caption about the event day.
