A square yellow-painted brick fire pit, decorated with white rangoli-style flower motifs centred with red dots, holds a blazing fire of wood logs and small white offering pieces. Tall orange flames rise above the pit. Behind it, a person in red-orange cloth stands partly visible at the top edge, and metal vessels, a kalasha-like pot and small brass containers sit on a stone ledge at left. This appears to be a homa or yagna fire ritual setting. No clearly identifiable people are fully visible.

A close view of a fire ritual at a square stone fire pit. Tall flames rise from burning wood at the center, with offerings of rice and red and orange flower petals scattered on the stone edges. A bare arm, wearing a bangle and a dark bead bracelet, holds a bundle of straw or grass over the fire, and a brass vessel sits behind it. Yellow marigold garlands blur in the background. No face is visible, and no one can be confidently identified as a person. The scene is a homa or yagna.

A photograph of a homa fire ritual in a temple setting. A priest seen from behind, bare-backed, wears an orange turban, orange shawl and orange-and-black striped cloth at the waist, with white ceremonial markings on his upper back and arm. He holds a brass vessel over a blazing fire pit lined with logs, pouring offerings of grains and red and yellow flower petals into the flames. Behind the fire, a deity murti is decorated with yellow and orange marigold garlands, with brass oil lamps and a golden figure in the background.
