A row of seated devotees in saffron-orange and peach ceremonial clothing hold lit camphor or lamp flames aloft in an aarti-style ritual, their arms extended toward flame-filled brass plates on orange cloth. Several brass bells, a conch shell, and small brass dishes with flowers and offerings sit on the floor at right. Multiple flickering oil lamps glow in the background, and the dim setting suggests an evening ceremony. The image is a photograph taken from the side of the row.
