Indoor photograph of a homa fire ritual on a tiled floor. A fire burns inside a square arrangement of stacked bricks decorated with flower petals, surrounded by small clay oil lamps and brass lamps. Three seated people in white and red clothing watch the ritual, and a person in white stands on the stairs at right. A framed portrait of a figure with a red-fringed crown and white garments is on the wall behind the fire. A hand holding a camera or phone appears at upper right. The arrangement suggests a homa or yagna.
