A night-time homa at a raised square yellow-painted fire pit filled with ash. On the left a priest in maroon-red robes with white tripundra markings reads from a sheet of paper into a microphone. In the centre a shaved-headed priest in orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits with a ladle and bowl. On the right a young priest in white dhoti with a rudraksha mala and white forearm markings holds an offering. Silver vessels, a kalasha, and yellow and white flowers stand beside the pit. Behind them a seated crowd in white and red shawls watches.
