A photograph of a homa ritual outdoors beside a stone wall. A bearded man with long dark hair and a white tilak on his forehead sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, wearing a rust-red robe, layered gold necklaces, a red flower garland and gold armbands, and smiling with an open hand. A woman in a green sari with a rudraksha mala sits to his left holding a red bag. In front, a shirtless man in an orange turban and white dhoti with a sacred thread holds a bundle of sticks beside a fire pit burning with flames, a brass bowl and marigold garlands. Red bags and striped mats cover the floor.
