A photograph of a Chandi Homa fire ritual at night in a dimly lit temple. A large, tall flame rises from a fire pit at the centre, with a dark ritual vessel and a small brass or copper lamp-like object on a tray in the foreground. A seated person at the left edge, partly out of frame, holds palms together in a gesture of prayer, shown only from the shoulders and head. Behind the fire, a red-draped altar or platform with green and gold decorations and brass lamp stands on the right. The scene conveys an agnikaryam offering during Navaratri.
