Seated on it is a man in an orange-saffron dhoti with a crown-like golden headpiece, a rudraksha-style beaded necklace, white flower garlands and a bare chest, holding a silver lamp with a flame. A standing priest in a white dhoti and white shawl, with a bare torso, extends his hand toward the lamp in an aarti gesture. Behind them, a deity murti is adorned with red and orange flower garlands, with brass lamps and vessels on the altar. The setting is a temple-like hall with red and white striped pillars and potted plants in the corner.
