A bare-chested priest with a shaved head and a yellow-tinted forehead mark sits with his back to the camera, wearing a rudraksha mala and a sacred thread, while reaching toward a lit multi-branch brass lamp burning with several flames. In front of him a wall-mounted flat screen shows a glowing golden figure seated on a throne flanked by two standing deities and two decorated lamp stands, with a line of text along the bottom. Along the yellow wall above hang framed black-and-white portraits and religious images. A small yellow-and-gold miniature temple model sits on the floor beside a laptop on a round wooden table, and a purple cloth covers a low platform in the background.
