A smoky photograph of a homa fire pit in a dim outdoor space. Bright orange flames rise from a red-brick fire pit with smoke drifting across the frame. Mango leaves and marigold garlands hang from overhead structures, and a white plate sits at the lower left. Faint figures in white stand far in the background, partly hidden by the haze, and a cable runs along the ground. The scene suggests a fire ritual, though no clear ritual figure is identifiable.
