Each holds a brass lamp with a lit flame raised overhead; the man on the right also holds a brass bell in his other hand, and the man on the left holds a bell too. Rudraksha malas hang at their necks. A metal table in the foreground holds small offering plates and lit oil lamps. Behind them a wall displays a printed poster with a painted scene of seated figures and a mountain landscape, and a red painted border runs along the wall. The lamps and bells indicate a ritual aarti.2010-07-13September 30 20082008-09-30
