Three men in white kurtas with yellow shawls and rudraksha malas perform aarti at a counter-top altar in an indoor hall. Each holds a flaming oil lamp or lit wick in one hand and a brass bell in the other. The man on the left holds a multi-wick lamp, the centre man a lamp with a large flame, and the man on the right a lamp with a flame held at chest height. Brass lamps and dishes sit on the polished altar surface, and two seated devotees are visible at the bottom edge. The aarti appears to be part of an evening darshan. The centre man has long hair and shows no distinctive crown, saffron clothing or ceremonial gold necklace, so he is described only by role.
