A man in a rust-brown dhoti and shawl with gold borders stands at left, holding an oil lamp (aarti) with a flame and a small metal bell in his hands. He wears layered gold necklaces, a long mala of white and red-pink flower garlands, and gold armlets. He faces right toward a shrine. In the center is a small deity murti with an orange cloth and white garlands in front of a gold arched frame and a green curtain. On the right, a large deity murti in green and gold silk is decorated with dense garlands of red roses, yellow marigolds, white flowers and purple beads, with a crown and jewelled necklaces. Oranges and flower offerings sit at the base. The scene suggests a puja or aarti at a temple shrine.
