Two young men in saffron and ochre robes sit cross-legged on a striped green mat before a brick fire pit with burning wood, performing a homa. The seated man on the left wears ochre robes with a white-painted forehead and arms and holds his hands together. The young man on the right, in orange robes with a rudraksha mala, stirs the fire with a long stick beside a copper bowl and a steel bowl of offerings. Oil lamps burn on a white cloth in front, with a tray of sticks and leaves, and a golden throne and garlanded items appear at the right against maroon curtains.
