A seated man with palms pressed together in namaskar sits before a lit homa fire pit built of orange brick, flames rising at right. He wears a red dhoti, a leopard-print cloth over the chest, rudraksha malas, and a horizontal white tilak with a red marking. Behind him stand many dark deity murtis draped in garlands of yellow and red flowers, and a large orange-and-gold deity figure in a blue sari. Brass plates, a kalasha-style vessel and bundled herbs lie in the foreground. The scene suggests an Aushadha or homa ritual.

A seated man in a silver-backed white chair at the centre-left performs anjali mudra with palms pressed together. He wears a leopard-print cloth wrap over bare shoulders, a red dhoti, rudraksha malas, bead bracelets and a white tripundra on his forehead. Behind him stands a row of dark statues adorned with yellow and red marigold garlands and jewelled necklaces, including a seated image with a bright blue-and-gold sari. A tiered silver stand holds offerings near a bright flame in a brick fire pit. The page suggests this is a Dec 2017 Bengaluru ritual session, but the scene itself shows a homa-style fire setting with garlanded deity murtis and decorated pillars.2017-12-20Photograph of a seated man in a red-orange ceremonial dress with a leopard-print blouse and a red shawl, hands joined in namaste, smiling, with a white tripunda and a rudraksha mala. He sits on a silver-framed chair beside a fire pit lined with orange bricks, where flames rise at right. Behind him stand many dark deity murti decorated with garlands of yellow and red flowers, necklaces and jewelled ornaments. A silver tiered stand and a brass kalasha sit nearby, with a microphone on a stand. The setting suggests a homa or fire ritual at an indoor sanctuary. The man is a candidate for the page subject, with a rudraksha mala, red ceremonial clothing and a tripunda; the appearance cues are moderately distinctive, so the label is uncertain.2017-12-20 +1 copiesDecember 20 20172017-12-20A seated man in a leopard-print sleeveless top and rust-red dhoti sits on an ornate silver throne beside a brick fire pit where flames rise high.
