A bare-shouldered priest with a rudraksha mala raises a tiered brass aarti lamp blazing with oil flames before a standing golden murti in a red-and-white turban, garlanded with flower strands and wearing gold necklaces, earrings and a red-and-gold dhoti. Warm light beams across red velvet drapes and the murti's raised hand. In the lower left, a framed portrait of a smiling figure in an orange turban with a red tilak is partly visible, with a garland at its base. A tassel column of red, green, white and purple hangs at the right edge. A plain a person candidate is visible only as a printed portrait, with no in-person presence.
