Outdoor homa on a riverside ghat with a bright fire burning inside a square pit of yellow-painted bricks. A standing man in saffron robes and a turban pours offerings from a small ladle beside a brass plate of flowers, rice and vessels. To the left, a man in an orange knit cap and orange robe with rudraksha mala stands with palms pressed together. Seated devotees in white and red clothing sit on the steps by the fire, and a bridge and mountains rise behind the flowing river.
