Outdoor homa ceremony under a tree canopy beside a river. A central brick fire pit with a bright flame sits on a colourful striped mat, surrounded by trays of fruit: pears, kiwis, green grapes, red grapes, apples, oranges and bananas, with small bowls of offerings. A priest in red-orange robes kneels tending the fire. A standing man in dark red-brown robes and a woman in a yellow sari with a red border stand nearby. Seated devotees in colourful saris and kurtas, plus a few people in uniform-style attire, watch from chairs and mats. A fan and tripod microphone stand at the edge of the scene.
