Close view of a homa fire pit lined with yellow-painted brick, its edges decorated with white powder and scattered red flower petals. Bright orange flames rise from burning wood sticks at the centre, with smoke drifting upward. A blurred figure in white is visible at the top edge, but no clear person is in focus. The setting suggests a fire ritual, shown as a photograph of the yagna altar.
