Outdoor homa at a fire pit set into a paved courtyard under a corrugated metal roof. Two priests in orange-saffron dhotis and shawls stand at the sunken fire pit, one raising a lit oil lamp and the other holding a bell, with smoke rising from the fire. Behind them a large orange-red cloth-draped object rests on a flatbed trolley, and palms and red walls frame the courtyard. Brass vessels, a pot and leaf offerings sit on cloth at the pit's edge, and a red-draped table with a seated figure appears at the right.
