A man stands barefoot with palms pressed together in prayer before a fire pit, a homa or yagna. He wears a rust-orange dhoti with gold borders and a bare upper body, draped with a thick red and white flower garland and gold beaded necklaces. A gold tilak marks his forehead and he has bangles on one wrist. Behind him stand gold ceremonial staffs, a gold throne with red cushions, a gold umbrella and a white draped table. The fire blazes in a carved yellow stone altar.

He wears a long garland of red roses and white flowers, a rudraksha-style gold necklace, and a gold-streaked sandalwood mark on his forehead. Beside him, another man in matching orange and gold-bordered cloth and a white flower garland stands with hands folded. Behind them are gold ceremonial items, a gold-covered seat with red cushions, a small oil lamp on the floor, and golden ceremonial staffs. This appears to be a homa fire ritual in an indoor hall. The main figure is an appearance-based a person candidate, with a garland, orange ritual clothing and forehead mark, though the image does not clearly show long swept-back hair or a crown.2015-10-12A standing man in saffron-orange robes with a gold-bordered wrap stands with palms pressed together in namaskar, eyes lowered.
