A man in a saffron-orange and maroon dhoti-style wrap stands against a dark night background, holding a silver aarti lamp with a large flame in his raised right hand and a brass bell in his left. He wears a long necklace of gold beads with a pendant, bangles on his wrist, and looks upward toward the flame. Smoke rises from the lamp at the top left. This appears to be an evening aarti ritual.
