A shaved-headed priest in a white dhoti with an orange-saffron sash and a yellow shawl bends forward and holds a lit oil lamp (aarti) over a deity murti decorated with red and yellow flower garlands. Behind the deity stands a gold-framed ornate backdrop and a gold throne-like shrine arch hung with green leaf garlands. Two bare-chested assistant priests stand nearby; one holds a silver plate, the other wears a blue shawl and red cloth. Flames and smoke rise from the lamp and offerings. Several people are visible, including partially seen figures at the left edge.2018-03-02
