Yagya fire
January 31, 2008
This is from the January Navagraha Yagyas in Kumbakonam, south Tamil Nadu. It took place in a patasala where young brahmin boys are learning their veda and then to become priests. This photo was taken after the final offering (poornadhuti) was made along with a lot of ghee! I always think the fire looks so powerful at that time. Dramatic!
