Outdoor ritual scene in a dusty courtyard beside a red-and-white striped compound wall and green trees. A fire burns in a shallow metal dish inside a ring of stones and logs. A young woman in white stands on a mat at the ring's edge with hands folded. A man in white dhoti and shirt with an orange cloth kneels and tends the fire. On the right, a tall man with long dark hair, bare-chested and wearing an orange wrap, stands watching, which may be a homa or yagna. Two more men in white stand at left holding items, and a green bin sits behind.
