A seated man in an orange saffron robe performs a homa beside a small fire on a stone platform, pouring a liquid from a ladle-like vessel into the flames. He wears long swept-back hair, a red tilak mark, a multi-strand gold necklace and a rudraksha mala. Behind him, a gold-bordered wooden seat and a row of seated devotees watch; a man in white with a rudraksha mala holds a trident-like staff at right, and a brass bowl and kalasha-style vessel sit on the ground. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, saffron robe and ornate gold necklace, performing the homa as the central figure.
