A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with hands joined in namaskar sits on a gold lion-supported throne with a large jewelled heart-shaped backrest studded with red, green and white flowers. A garland of pink and white flowers hangs around his neck. In the foreground, a man in a pink headcloth and light green dhoti holds a brass aarti lamp with a flame toward a deity murti decorated with garlands of marigolds and roses. A standing attendant in white stands nearby, and a brass lamp stand and a tray of flowers sit on the floor. The setting is a puja at a shrine, consistent with aarti being performed for a seated guru.
