A homa fire ritual in an outdoor courtyard. A yellow-painted square fire pit with white-dusted edges holds a burning fire of wood and embers, with grains scattered on its rim. Two people sit cross-legged on a colourful striped mat: the nearer one, in rust-orange cloth with white ash markings on the arms, pours from a silver bowl with a silver ladle, while a second person in saffron-orange robes, with beaded wrist bracelets and a rudraksha mala, sits beside them. A pink powder bowl, a small brass bowl, a metal lamp stand and bundled sticks lie nearby.

A silver tray of red and yellow flowers and a brass bowl of water sit nearby, and a person in white with a gold-bordered cloth is at the right edge.
