Night homa at an outdoor shrine with a visible fire pit where a flame rises from a yellow-draped platform. A priest in a rust-red dhoti with gold border stands at left, holding a garland up toward a deity murti decorated with flower garlands on a pedestal. At right, a man in a rust-red robe with a flower garland holds a hand near a tall ornate deity figure. Three seated young men in white dhotis with gold borders and rudraksha malas face the fire, with bracelets on their wrists. A microphone stands near the fire, and a teal-draped table with a green cloth is at right. Four physical people are visible, plus a partially visible person at the far left edge.

A shaved-headed priest in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl holds a lit camphor lamp aloft before a deity murti decorated with white, purple and pink garlands. Beside the fire pit, a man in white dhoti kneels at the left edge, and a figure in saffron sits or stands at right before a silver-framed deity with garlands. A small fire burns in a yellow-tiled homa pit with brass vessels and offerings in front, and a multi-tiered shrine with flowers stands in the background.
