A brick-lined square fire pit (homa kunda) on a white-painted stone platform, with a bright flame and burning wood logs rising from the ash. Brass bowls and a small pot with a red-orange liquid sit at the left edge, and a bundle of incense or wooden sticks is nearby. Yellow circular markings are painted on the platform. Part of a person in white and red clothing is visible at the top left, with a book and a brass lamp nearby. A deity murti is partly visible at the upper right. The scene suggests a homa or yagna ritual.
