A photograph of a homa fire pit built of stacked yellow-green brick with white-dusted edges, a tall bright flame rising from its centre. Two silver vessels topped with coconuts wrapped in green leaves stand at the front left, with cinnamon-like sticks and red-brown wood placed around the pit. A bowl of red and green apples and other fruit sits on a leaf-covered tray at the upper right, and a person in orange clothing is partly visible at the top left edge. No faces are fully visible.

No individual figure is clearly visible, so the fire pit ritual setting is the main subject.2011-12-20A photograph of a homa fire burning inside a square fire pit built from stacked yellow turmeric-coloured bricks, with a red kumkum mark on the brick corners.
