A young priest in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban holds a lit oil lamp (aarti) toward a deity murti seated on an ornate golden throne. The priest wears wooden rudraksha malas, a gold chain necklace, a bead armband and white sacred markings on his arms and forehead. The deity murti is clad in a blue blouse and maroon skirt, with a jeweled crown, layered gold and pearl necklaces and a garland of orange and pink flowers, and holds a golden hand gesture. Behind the throne hang a green velvet curtain and gold-embossed panels with red diamond cutouts. A brass conch shell sits at the base of the throne. Visible text in the lower corner reads Rajarajeshwari Brahmotsava Day 3.
