A photograph of a ritual homa at an open-sided pavilion. A fire burns in a brick-lined fire pit in the foreground, with two priests kneeling beside it. One kneeling figure in an orange and white cloth raises a hand toward the flames. Behind them, a bare-backed priest in a white dhoti with a pink and white shawl faces a decorated seated deity murti on a green-draped throne, garlanded with yellow and red flowers and wearing a crown. Ornate golden standards with leaf-shaped finials frame the scene. A standing attendant in a white dhoti and gold necklace stands at left beside a decorated kalasha altar. A tripod camera is set up at right. No clearly identifiable a person figure is present in the scene.
