A tiered brass aarti lamp with many lit oil lamps and wicks burns on a woven mat, with a conical heap of white material on its top tier. Behind it on the left stand several brass handheld bells with ornate handles, and at the right edge a person in a pale yellow garment holds a lit incense stick or taper toward the lamp. A band of orange cloth and a dark floor are visible at the top. The scene suggests an aarti lighting in a temple setting.
