A man with long dark matted hair piled high on his head and a red-and-white beaded garland holds a silver lamp with a bright open flame, facing right during a ritual. He wears a rust-red garment, gold bangles and an armlet. Behind him to the left, two men with hands folded stand near a golden peacock-shaped stand, and to the right a gilded deity murti with red and gold adornments is visible. A cream-coloured window and a stone pillar frame the scene, and the ritual appears to be an aarti with a lamp.2016-07-19May 31 20182018-05-31 +2 copiesJune 28 20142014-06-28 +1 copiesMay 31 20182018-05-31August 27 20162016-08-27A man with long dark hair piled high on his head, wearing a red-and-white beaded garland, multiple layers of gold ornamental necklaces, a red garment and gold bangles, stands smiling while holding a small silver spouted vessel and lamp near a tall brass oil lamp with a bird-shaped finial.
