A photograph of a homa ritual inside a decorated tent with purple walls and a white canopy. A priest in an orange turban and white face mask, with white markings on his forehead and arm and rudraksha beads on his wrist, pours offerings into a wooden fire pit lined with painted, colourful panels. Inside the pit sit a red and white cloth bundle and a bowl of reddish liquid. An oil lamp burns on a side table beside a brass bowl. Behind him, a red and cream draped seat holds flower garlands, and vertical banners in red, blue and orange with geometric motifs and marigold garlands hang on the wall.
