Outdoor homa ritual at dusk amid smoke and palm trees. A figure in orange robes with a red-beaded rudraksha mala sits cross-legged at the centre of a circular fire pit with a small offering vessel nearby. Several people in white ritual clothes sit or kneel around small fires and on raised platforms, one holding an item at the fire edge. Another person in orange with a red shawl stands on the right beside a man in white holding a cloth. A white stepped shrine with a dark deity murti and garland stands behind, below a tall tapered pillar. Other figures in white and yellow are seated across the grounds.

A tall wooden flagstaff with a tapering top rises from a white stepped platform at centre. Around it, small circular fire pits are set in the ground, with smoke rising from several at right. Many people sit cross-legged on the earth in white clothes with yellow shawls, some wearing red scarves. Two seated figures near the foreground wear saffron-orange robes. Stone sculptures and a dark deity murti stand near the platform. A flat copper-topped pedestal sits in the foreground. This appears to be a homa or yagna gathering, though the exact rite is not clear.2010-08-09July 11 20102010-07-11June 13 20102010-06-13June 24 20102010-06-24June 13 20102010-06-13August 09 20102010-08-09July 04 20102010-07-04 +1 copiesJuly 11 20102010-07-11
