A hand at the top left holds a silver ladle, pouring liquid into the fire, and a silver bowl with a patterned rim sits at the left edge containing liquid. Green leaves lie across the bricks, and a colourful striped cloth lies beneath the pit. This appears to be a fire ritual such as a homa or yagna. No people are visible other than the hand.2018-04-26A fire pit homa in progress: a yellow-painted brick fire pit with bright flames rising from it.

A hand in a bangle-wearing wrist holds a long silver ladle pouring liquid into the flames, and a silver bowl of orange liquid sits beside the pit. The brick altar is marked with white and red kumkum-style dots, with red and yellow flower petals and a bowl of flowers nearby. A person in red cloth sits behind, but no face is visible; no a person candidate is shown, so the people count reflects only partially visible hands and clothing.2011-12-14A homa fire ritual in progress. A person in an orange garment with gold border pours a liquid from a silver ladle-shaped vessel with a spouted handle into a brass bowl placed before a fire pit.

The fire burns brightly on the right. Other people's legs are faintly visible in the background.2011-11-10April 26 20182018-04-26 +1 copiesDecember 14 20112011-12-14January 28 20182018-01-28
