A fire ritual at night, with a flame rising from a homa pit lined with yellow-edged bricks decorated with red flowers and leaves. A bearded priest sits at right with a yellow-and-white dhoti and shawl, a sandalwood-and-red tilak on his forehead, a clear crystal mala and a red bead mala, and gold ceremonial necklaces, holding a brass ritual object. Beside him, a man with glasses and bare chest wears gold necklaces and a white cloth, seated before the offerings. Behind them, a standing figure in white dhoti holds a lamp, and blurred people in orange and white sit in the background. a person candidate in the right-hand seated figure is not established by appearance alone; the figure is described as a priest.
