A fire ritual (homa) at a yellow-painted square fire pit with flames and smoke rising. A bare-chested man in an orange turban and orange dhoti stands at the right, wearing rudraksha malas and a silver chain, with sacred ash marks on his chest and forehead, tending the fire. Several bare-chested men in orange cloth and red eye-bands sit in rows behind the pit, some with rudraksha necklaces. Brass vessels, a lamp and a tray of offerings sit on a striped cloth at the front. Background shows painted deity figures and a large yellow ring. The setting is a pandal-style hall with fluorescent lights.

September 17 20172017-09-17Night-time homa at a yellow-banded square fire pit with a visible flame. Four people in orange-saffron dhoti and shawl sit around it. The man on the right wears an orange turban, rudraksha mala, gold pendant necklace and beaded bracelets, and pours or handles offerings from a silver bowl placed on a tray. Two younger boys and a woman with curly hair sit nearby with beads and vibhuti marks; one boy tends a bowl with a ladle. Smoke drifts behind them, and a blue-and-red banner hangs in the background.2017-10-01September 24 20172017-09-24 +1 copiesOctober 10 20172017-10-10October 11 20142014-10-11September 17 20172017-09-17 +1 copiesSeptember 24 20172017-09-24 +1 copiesOctober 10 20172017-10-10 +2 copiesSeptember 24 20172017-09-24 +1 copiesSeptember 10 20172017-09-10 +1 copiesSeptember 24 20172017-09-24 +2 copiesAugust 29 20142014-08-29
