A tall, vigorous ritual fire rises from a square fire pit lined with red brick in a dark temple setting. Behind it sits an ornate brass or copper vessel with embossed decoration, and a wide copper bowl holds offerings to the right. Strands of yellow and orange flower garlands and scattered petals lie on the brick ledge. No people are visible in the frame, and the background is dim with a blurred deity murti and lamps. This appears to be a homa fire during a puja.
