Close-up photograph of a sacred fire burning in a brick-lined fire pit during a homa. Bright orange flames rise from wood logs in the lower centre. Behind it, a large ornate brass or gold-toned vessel with repoussé floral borders sits beside a polished metal bowl with a ladle resting on its rim. Green and yellow flowers and marigold-like blossoms lie scattered around the fire pit, with petals on the bricks. The background is dark with blurred green and gold draping and a softly lit deity or altar area. No people are visible.
