Four people in saffron-orange robes sit around a yellow-bordered square homa fire pit at night on a paved ground. A flame burns in the pit. The seated man at right wears an orange turban, rudraksha malas and bangles, and pours from a small vessel, while beside him a younger boy in orange tends a brass bowl of offerings. Another man in orange sits near the fire, and a figure at left with curly hair and a rudraksha mala sits on a low seat. Brass oil lamps, a banana and a plate of offerings sit on a striped cloth in front, with a flower-strewn tray in the foreground.
