Outdoor photo of a homa ceremony in a palm-tree courtyard. A man with long dark hair sits cross-legged in the centre on an orange cushion, wearing an orange saffron robe and a rudraksha mala, eyes closed, hands resting on his lap. A brass kalasha/vessel sits on a blue mat in front of him beside a circular ash-filled fire pit. Behind him, several men in white robes with yellow shawls sit in rows on the sandy ground, and one standing man in white pours from a vessel. Stone deity murtis line the background near an orange-walled building and wooden logs are stacked to the left. The central figure has long swept-back hair and saffron clothing with rudraksha beads, matching the page's Swamiji reference, so this is a probable identification.
