A homa is being performed in an open-sided pavilion with white pillars. A white stepped fire pit holds a burning fire, decorated with pink flowers, and a copper tray sits in its centre. Around it, a priest in white with an orange shawl and a gold necklace raises his hand over the fire. Beside him, a man in white with a yellow shawl holds a long ladle, and another man in white with an orange shawl sits behind them. Two young boys in yellow and striped shirts sit on a mat at the back. Rows of small clay lamps, brass vessels, fruit and a kalasha surround the fire, with trees and a white wall behind.
