A photograph of a homa fire rising tall from a brick-lined fire pit. A long-handled metal ladle with a twisted handle pours ghee or liquid offering into the flames from the right, with golden drips falling beside the fire. A large polished metal bowl sits behind the pit, and marigold-like flowers and petals lie on the bricks. Soft green and gold blurred decorations fill the background. No people are clearly visible, only a hand holding the ladle at the edge of the frame.
