A large clay-coated mound sits in a brick-walled building, glowing and blackened as flames lick up both sides. Sticks and a coconut are tied across the top of the mound, and a wooden plank lies beside it. Behind it, a single seated person in white clothing rests on a plastic chair near the left wall, while a small metal and red brick firepit area fills the foreground. The scene appears to be a fire ritual with a sculpted or clay-formed structure being burned; the seated figure is not visible well enough to assess appearance, and no a person candidate can be confirmed.

September 13 20132013-09-13A large dark clay or mud-covered cylindrical vessel rests across a brick-built fire pit, with bright orange flames licking its underside and charred, blackened patches on its surface. Burning logs and embers glow in the brick hearth below. In the background, two blurred figures stand in a dim, unfinished concrete-block hall, one in white clothing at the right edge. The scene suggests a traditional fire-based ritual preparation, though no clear ritual activity is shown.2013-09-13September 13 20132013-09-13September 13 20132013-09-13A photograph of a large open-air cooking or firing setup inside a brick-walled room. A raised mound covered with dried straw and ash sits over a bed of burning wood, with bright orange flames glowing beneath the stacked logs. Four men stand or crouch around it: one shirtless man on the left, a man in a white dhoti and white shirt at the centre-right, and a man in a white garment working near the top, with another man partly visible behind. No one wears saffron or distinctive ceremonial adornments, so no candidate for a person is identified. Ash covers the floor and a few plastic sheets and metal rods lie nearby.2013-09-13September 13 20132013-09-13September 13 20132013-09-13September 13 20132013-09-13A photograph of a large fire burning on a raised wooden platform or frame, with bright orange flames rising through dark logs and a thick pile of smouldering material. White smoke drifts upward against a rough brick wall with pipes running along it. No people are visible in the frame, and no figure matching the page's a person reference appears. The fire pit setting suggests a ritual fire, but no clear homa iconography is visible beyond the flames and ash.2013-09-13A photograph of a large wood fire burning in a dim brick-walled room, with bright orange flames and thick smoke rising from a long raised fire trench or pit. Two or three men in white dhotis stand at the back near the wall, one holding a long stick or tool toward the fire. The scene suggests a homa or yagna fire ritual, though the lighting is dark and the figures are partly obscured by smoke.2013-09-13A large outdoor fire burns in a brick-lined pit at night on a dirt ground, with a big mass of dark clay or mud-coated material lying across the top of the flames and glowing orange at the edges. Several dark metal pots and a wooden trough sit on the ground in front, along with sticks and scattered debris. In the background, a single figure in pale clothing stands near a dim wall, and a ladder leans against the left side. No one is clearly identifiable as a person in this image.2013-09-13February 13 20132013-02-13
