A seated man with long swept-back dark hair, eyes closed, wearing a saffron-orange garment with a gold border, a red bindi, rudraksha mala and a gold ceremonial necklace, and a white and red flower garland around his neck and arms, sits on an ornate silver throne against a red backdrop. Three men in white kurtas sit on the floor before him, holding small oil lamps and offerings, with a tall multi-branch brass lamp in flames in the foreground and a silver bowl of flowers and offerings near his feet. This appears to be an aarti or puja ceremony. The seated figure's appearance and regalia are consistent with a person presiding over the ritual, with a saffron robe, rudraksha mala and gold necklace as visible cues.
