A seated man at right performs a homa beside a burning fire pit made of stacked wooden blocks. He is bare-chested, wearing a white dhoti and an orange-and-yellow shawl draped over his shoulders, with white tripundra markings on his forehead and arms. He sits with his palms together, gazing upward. In front of him a silver-rimmed altar tray holds yellow flowers, orange fruit, bananas, a red apple-like fruit and a red-and-yellow patterned cloth. Two oranges sit on the tray's edge, and marigold petals are scattered on a striped mat. Two white-clad figures stand in a doorway behind, one in a white dhoti with a yellow-bordered cloth, and a carved wooden doorframe frames the scene.
