Night-time homa outdoors under a canopy hung with cloth tassels and curved decorative wire. A large fire blazes with sparks and smoke at centre. Many people sit on the ground in white and cream clothes, some in saris and pale kurtas, with a few in colourful clothing. A woman in a cream sari with a green border stands on a striped mat runner beside a long red-and-white raised platform where men in white dhotis sit bare-chested with sacred threads. Red-painted walls stand behind, with a lit lamp at right. No figure is clearly identifiable as a person in the visible frame.
