A homa fire burns in a raised yellow-green fire pit decorated with white and red flower petals and rings of flowers. Flames rise high from the wood at centre right. Beside it sits a brass bowl and a brass vessel, and in the foreground a silver tray holds a pink and red flower-petal arrangement with white rice-like grains. Two priests in white dhotis are seated at the top of the frame; the left priest holds a small card in his hand. Garlands and marigolds lie at the edge of the frame. The scene shows a fire ritual in progress, with no visible faces or identifiable portrait.

Yellow marigold flowers and scattered white rice grains decorate the rim, and a brass bowl of liquid and a small brass vessel sit nearby. Parts of seated people in white clothes with yellow cloth are visible at the top edge, but no full face or figure is shown. Hands and fabric at the top are partially cropped, so the people are not counted as clearly visible.2016-12-05July 03 20172017-07-03January 05 20182018-01-05A photograph of a homa fire burning in a rectangular brick-lined fire pit, with bright orange flames rising on the left.
