A photograph of a crowded devotional gathering during a homa-style ritual, with smoke filling the hall. Many seated devotees in white clothes with orange-red shawls raise their hands in prayer or offering. In the foreground a woman in an orange-red shawl over white garments sits on a mat with palms pressed together. Brass oil lamps with multiple tiers stand at the right edge, and a wall air conditioner appears at the top left. The page indicates a Samaya Deeksha homa, but no a person figure is clearly identifiable in this frame.
