An elderly man with white hair and glasses, wearing a white shirt and white dhoti, leans over the altar with his hands joined and extended toward the fire. Behind him a standing crowd of about fifteen people watches: women in sarees including a yellow one and a red-bordered one, men in white shirts, a man in a striped shirt, and a woman holding a small child. A dark draped backdrop and a red cloth hang behind them. A row of mats covers the floor. No figure in the scene is clearly identifiable as a specific person.2006-07-17July 17 20062006-07-17August 14 20162016-08-14August 14 20162016-08-14June 19 20142014-06-19 +1 copiesDecember 26 20062006-12-26July 17 20062006-07-17July 17 20062006-07-17A homa fire ritual in a hall with a painted backdrop of a tree and a shrine with a deity murti decorated with garlands. In front, a central fire burns on bricks, surrounded by fruit, flower offerings and a raised offering platform. A woman in a white dress with an orange shawl sits cross-legged with hands folded in prayer behind the fire, and another woman in white sits beside her. Seated devotees in the foreground include a man in a white shirt and women in patterned and yellow saris, with a microphone stand near the fire. No visible person clearly matches the a person appearance cues.2011-10-26July 17 20062006-07-17
