Night homa at a brick-lined fire pit on an open sandy ground with a lit fire burning and smoke rising. Several men in white dhotis and white shirts stand around the pit, some holding plates or offerings and placing items into the flames. A man at right in white with a mala necklace holds an offering bundle. The pit is lined with bricks and the flames are bright orange in the dark. No individual in the scene has a clear distinctive presentation to identify as a person, so the a person field is unsure.
