Outdoor homa ritual on green lawn at dusk. A shaved-headed priest seen from behind, bare-chested with a saffron wrap and orange turban, tends a small fire built on a brick fire pit, holding a metal ladle over the flame. Silver vessels and a kalasha sit nearby. Around the fire, about two dozen seated devotees in white, red and orange clothing, many wearing red and white beaded malas and sitting on chairs or mats, watch the ritual. A few hold small books or notebooks. Dress colours include red saris, orange shawls and white kurtas.
