A photograph of a homa fire ritual through an ornate carved wooden doorway. A fire burns in a yellow brick fire pit in the foreground. Two saffron-robed sannyasis perform the ritual. The seated man on the right wears an orange turban and orange cloth, is bare-chested with a long beard and ash marks, and pours an offering from a small metal vessel into the fire, with a brass bowl and a plate of offerings and kumkum before him. A second young sannyasi with long matted hair, orange cloth, beaded necklaces and ash on his forehead sits behind the fire pit. Potted plants and pink flowers appear behind them.
