Outdoor homa ritual with rows of brick fire pits on bare ground, each holding stacked wooden sticks and yellow and orange flower petals. Devotees sit cross-legged on mats beside the pits: a girl in a white t-shirt and jeans with palms joined in front, a young woman in a cream saree with a small child in blue jeans on her lap, and a man in a white shirt behind them. Brass plates with flowers, a small bowl and a brass ghee vessel sit near the pits. Other seated participants in colourful sarees and salwar fill the background. No a person candidate is visibly present in this frame.
