A close view of a sacred fire pit, a homa or yagna, with large flames and smoke rising from burning wood and offerings. The fire sits in a yellow-painted circular altar edged with red markings and scattered red petals. Blurred behind it are white carved pillars and a white deity murti with garlands of flowers. At the far right edge, a partially visible person in orange clothing tends the fire, though only part of the figure is in frame.
