A man in a rust-red sleeveless garment and a long garland of red roses and white jasmine holds a lit oil lamp toward a framed portrait, garlanded with red and white flowers, on a pink wall. A woman in a white and gold-bordered sari stands behind him with palms pressed together in namaskar, and a brass bowl is visible. Small brass lamps and a harmonium sit on the floor. The scene reads as an aarti at a home shrine.
