A close photograph of a homa fire pit with a glowing orange flame and smoke rising from its rectangular brick-like edge. Rice grains and red kumkum-like spots are scattered around the pit on a yellow-green cloth. Behind it, a silver-toned container holds fruit including oranges and red apples, with pink flowers, and two legs in white trousers are visible at the top of the frame. The setting appears to be a sacred fire ceremony.
