A photograph of a homa fire burning in a rectangular brick-lined fire pit, with bright orange flames rising on the left. A small hammered brass or copper bowl sits on the pit's rim, with red flower petals and white powder scattered along the edges. Behind the fire, a partly visible person's hand holds a long ladle or stick, and a bead garland hangs at right. The setting appears to be a fire ritual with offerings. No faces are visible.
