A man in a red-orange silk robe with gold-bordered drape and a long rust-coloured beaded mala around his neck performs an aarti, holding a silver lamp with a flame in one hand and a silver handbell in the other. He has a red vermilion dot on his forehead and his eyes are lowered. Behind him a golden framed structure sits beneath an orange canopy, and several seated devotees in white and red clothing sit with palms pressed together. A blurred woman in white sits at the left edge. The setting appears to be an evening satsang or puja. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, rust-coloured beaded mala and ceremonial red silk robes, performing aarti as the presiding figure.
