A shaved-headed priest in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha-style bead necklace performs aarti in a dim hall, lifting a tall silver multi-tiered lamp stand with many lit oil lamps in both hands. He gazes upward at the flames. Behind him are a wall, a dark speaker box, a metal railing and a pale pillar. No clear identity cues are visible, so the person is described by role only.
