A homa fire burns brightly in front of a richly decorated deity murti dressed in red and dark red cloth, with white jasmine garlands, green leaves and a crown set with red flowers and jewels. Golden arches, a brass lamp stand and red drapes frame the shrine. The visible flames rise from a wooden fire pit, and no people are visible in the frame. A caption reads Nithyananda Homa, Nithyanandotsavam 2021 - Day 9.
