A photograph of a brick-lined fire pit at night with tall orange flames rising from the burning logs inside. Marigold flowers sit on the brick rim at the back, and a dark metal vessel with a beaded string rests at the lower left. The surrounding area is dark, with no people visible. This appears to be a homa fire offering during a Navaratri Chandi Homa ceremony.
