Night outdoor homa at a yellow-brick fire pit with a bright flame rising on the left. Pink flower petals are scattered on the bricks and in the foreground. Three men in orange-red turbans and saffron clothing sit around the fire. The central figure in the back has a bare upper body and wears layered rudraksha malas and bead necklaces; he is seated behind the fire. The man on the right, with a bare upper body and multiple beaded malas, holds a long wooden ladle over a brass bowl of offerings. The far-right man, also turbaned and beaded, has his hands joined near the pit. Blurred lights and trees fill the dark background.
