Outdoor homa at a dusk ceremony on a green mat under a dark backdrop with a 'a person eNclaves' banner framed by marigold garlands. A seated figure in orange robes and a white flower garland sits on a striped tiger-skin cushion on a raised orange-draped platform, with a microphone and flowers nearby. In front, a shaven-headed man in orange and a bare-chested man in orange kneel with hands folded beside a brick fire pit where a flame burns, surrounded by colourful kolam rangoli and a brass pot. A white-clad man reads from a book on a stand, and a standing man in white attends at the back. Around twelve seated devotees in white and saffron, including several women and a man in a white shirt, watch the ceremony.
