A photograph of a homa fire burning in a golden tiered fire pit at a temple. The flames rise from the square yellow-gold altar, which is decorated with white rangoli-style lines and scattered pink flower petals. Behind it, a golden lion-form image is garlanded with yellow and red flowers, and a silver tray holds limes and flowers. Partially visible people in white dhotis with coloured borders kneel and stand around the fire, and a person in an orange garment is at the edge of the frame. The scene is a fire ritual during Navaratri worship.
