In the foreground, a shaved-headed priest with long dreadlocks wears an orange dhoti and shawl, white sacred markings on his arms and body, and a rudraksha mala, raising a lit aarti lamp with one hand toward the altar. On the altar stands a central dark murti draped in a red and purple cloth with a crown, garlanded with yellow and orange marigolds, flanked by golden-robed and crowned deity figures and a bearded figure in red headwear with rudraksha necklaces. A red curtain and gold arch frame the scene. The priest is a physical person; the altar figures are statues.2020-12-04
