Smoke rises from the lamp against a dark background. A partially visible person in orange clothing appears at the lower left edge. The priest, with his bare upper body and gold bangles, appears to be performing an evening aarti ritual.2015-05-05September 08 20112011-09-08September 28 20112011-09-28Photograph of a shaved-headed man in white ritual cloth, bare-shouldered with a gold necklace and white ash markings on his arm, holding a silver aarti lamp with multiple flames in his right hand and a small silver bell in his left.

Gold bangles and beaded armlets adorn his arms. Behind him stands a gilded shrine arch decorated with red flowers, flanked by tall silver pillars, brass oil lamps and a glowing lamp on the left, inside a temple hall with white pillars. The scene shows an aarti offering at the shrine. No visible a person figure is clearly identifiable from appearance, so the person is described only by role as a priest.2012-05-09A night-time photograph of a priest performing aarti. He holds a silver multi-flame lamp with three lit wicks and smoke rising from it in his right hand, and a silver handbell in his left. He wears a white dhoti with gold borders and a bare upper torso, with a rudraksha mala visible at his chest. Only his torso, arms and hands are visible; his face is cropped out of frame. Wooden poles frame the dark background, and a blurred orange-clad figure appears at the lower left edge.2015-05-05September 28 20112011-09-28
