A bare-chested man in white dhoti holds a brass aarti lamp with burning flame before a dark stone deity statue on the left. Behind him, several people stand with hands folded in anjali: a man in white dhoti and shawl, a monk-like figure in orange robe with a rudraksha mala, young men in white dhotis and sacred threads, and a woman in a green sari. Behind them, an illuminated palanquin or ratha carrying an ornate deity murti decorated with gold and red garlands. Red walls and a small shrine structure form the background.
