A photograph of a homa fire pit built from tiered green and orange-red bricks marked with white paste lines and dots, with a tall orange flame rising from the centre. Banana leaves hold red and yellow fruits, coconuts, a small brass tray of grains and a metal vessel with mango leaves sit at the front. A microphone stand is visible at right, and the foreground shows a blurred orange object. Partial figures in white cloth sit at the upper edges, and no person's face is visible. The scene suggests a fire ritual with offerings.
