A photograph of a fire burning in a large dark metal bowl in the foreground, with smoke rising. Behind it sits a seated statue of a deity in reddish-brown and gold tones, wearing a crescent-topped headdress, a gold pendant necklace and a beaded mala, with a decorated backdrop. Silver-finished statues of a bull and other figures, garlanded with white and red flowers, stand on a pale platform to the right, and a yellow-edged stone trough runs along the right foreground. A striped rug lies at the left. The scene suggests a homa fire with offerings beside a murti. No people are visible.
