Indoor photo of a ritual aarti in a plain room with cream walls and a wooden door. A seated figure in a rust-red and saffron dhoti with a white flower garland and a beaded rudraksha-style mala sits before a silver trident-topped staff and a silver-backed chair; a red dot marks the forehead. Two devotees in white dhotis and a blue-bordered sari hold a brass oil-lamp plate with a lit flame toward him. Other seated people in orange and saffron robes sit nearby, with fruit, flowers and a tray of offerings on the floor. Based on the page, the seated figure is a person in appearance-based terms: shoulder-length hair, rudraksha mala and ornate clothing, though the face is not used for identification.
