A photograph of a nighttime homa at AadiKailaasa, with a bright fire blazing in a central fire pit. A standing priest in red-orange robes with a rudraksha mala leans over the fire, holding a brass plate. Beside him stands a large white-and-gold deity murti, and ornate brass oil lamps glow at left. Several seated people in red and cream clothing sit on a raised dais in front of the fire, some with hands folded in prayer, and a decorative cloth with elephant and floral motifs hangs on the right.
