A man with long dark hair swept back and small hoop earrings holds a small brass oil lamp with a lit flame toward the camera with his right hand. He wears a white dhoti-style wrap with a gold border, a gold bangle and ring, and a red bindi on his forehead. Behind him, blurred seated people in white and orange clothing sit in a hall with red draping. Appearance cues include long swept-back hair, ceremonial gold jewellery and a gold-bordered wrap, consistent with Swamiji (probable) performing an aarti with an oil lamp during a satsang setting.
