A close-up photograph of a large fire blazing in a ritual fire pit during a homa. Bright orange flames rise around a charred log or offering piece at the centre. At the right edge, a bundle wrapped in yellow and orange cloth sits beside a yellow-rimmed tray with marigold-like flowers. A partially visible person in a pink or magenta garment stands at the left edge. No clear face or full body is visible, and the fire dominates the frame.
