A young man in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl stands on marble steps holding a tiered brass aarti lamp with several lit oil lamps, while a brass bell sits on a striped purple-and-green cloth table beside him. He wears white vibhuti on his forehead and arms, a red tilak, and a rudraksha mala. Long dark hair falls down his back as he smiles toward the camera. The steps are grey and red stone, and a faint purple bird logo appears in the upper left corner.
