Night photo of a homa in an open-sided shelter with a corrugated metal roof and string lights overhead. A small fire burns at left beside the fire pit, with brass and clay vessels nearby. In the foreground a shaven-headed man in a white dhoti stands with his back to the camera. Beside him, a man in an orange-saffron wrap stands near the fire. A woman in a white sari with a red border and gold trim holds a white and gold garland, and a blonde woman in a red shawl and white outfit stands with palms joined in prayer. A young man in white dhoti and shawl raises a green leaf or ritual item. Other participants in white clothes sit or stand on striped red, green and blue mats across the floor. A darker wrap and white ritual garments fill the background, with the mats and floor marked with kolam patterns.
