A person in a dim hall holds up a brass multi-wick aarti lamp with several lit flames, the fire rising from the top wick. The person wears a loose white kurta with rolled sleeves and an orange-saffron shawl draped over the shoulders, with long dark hair tied back. A corrugated metal roof and dark walls surround them, and a small speaker or equipment sits at the left edge. The photo is taken from the side, with warm lamp light against the cool dark background.
