A homa or fire ritual in a warmly lit hall. In the foreground, a large open flame rises from a yellow-topped fire pit. A figure in an orange-red shawl and saffron robes, with a red-cloth-covered offering on a silver plate, extends it toward a younger man in an orange turban, gold-beaded necklace, orange dhoti and arm bands who leans forward to receive it. A silver bowl and ladle sit on the pit's edge. Seated devotees with folded hands fill the blurred background beneath hanging crystal chandeliers, and a video camera on a tripod is visible at right.
