A photograph of a fire pit built from yellow-painted brick, with a lit flame burning in the central opening. A hand holding a long handled ladle, with a brass bowl of yellow liquid, pours or stirs at the fire's edge, while a second brass bowl of yellow liquid sits on the brick surface. Red kumkum marks dot the brick top. Behind, a grinding stone, a woven basket and a pink and blue striped cloth are visible. No people's faces are shown. This appears to be a homa or yagna offering setup.
