Night photograph of a fire ritual at an outdoor ashram site. Several fire trenches burn in rows across dark ground. A seated figure in white clothing sits beside a flaming trench, with flames lighting the ground around him. Standing nearby, a person in white robes holds a long implement, and a figure in a red-orange garment stands to the right by another fire. Further back, more seated and standing people in white are partly visible in the glow of the fires. This appears to be a homa or fire offering performed by devotees; no readable text appears in the scene itself.

Night photo of a fire ritual at an open-air ground, with small flames burning in a scattered pattern across the dark earth. In the foreground, a woman in a white shawl and white cloth sits cross-legged in front of a large fire pit, hands folded, eyes lowered. Behind her, several other people in white and light-coloured clothing sit in meditative postures beside their own small fires, with a few more standing at the edges. Buildings with lights are faintly visible in the background. The setting suggests a homa or fire-based meditation practice.

A night scene of a monastic training homa at an outdoor ground. Many people in white clothes sit cross-legged within small circular fire pits, with flames and smoke rising around them. The foreground figure wears white with an orange-brown shawl draped over one shoulder and sits facing away from the camera. Other seated participants in white fill the rows behind, with a fence line in the background.

Night photograph of two women sitting cross-legged in meditation on sandy ground, each within a ring of flaming oil lamps or small fires arranged in circular patterns. Both wear white kurta-style tops and loose white trousers, with dark rudraksha-style beaded malas around their necks. The woman on the right wears glasses. Other seated figures in pale clothing are blurred in the background, and the scene suggests a night meditation or fire ritual.

A dark night photograph of a glowing ring of orange embers and fire on the ground, forming an oval or circular boundary around a dark central area. Brighter flames burn at the top edge of the frame. No people or figures are visible in the scene. The ring of glowing coals suggests a fire ritual arrangement, but no ritual activity or participants are shown.
