Photo of an aarti ritual before a seated figure in an orange-saffron robe with a white flower garland and gold necklace, sitting before an ornate silver-framed backdrop against a red wall. In the foreground, a bald, dark-skinned man in dark clothing holds up a tiered brass lamp stand with several lit oil lamps. Three men in white ritual clothes sit on a red patterned mat, one holding a small vessel. A silver bowl with flower petals sits on the mat, with marigold garlands in the lower foreground. The seated figure wears a crown-less head with dark hair, and the central figure matches the appearance cues of a person, seated in a ceremonial posture while the aarti is performed.
