A photograph of a woman and a man standing side by side holding a silver aarti tray with a lit oil lamp, marigolds and petals. The woman wears a gold and green silk saree, a jewelled headpiece, layered necklaces and bangles. The man wears a white and cream embroidered kurta with a brown shawl, a rudraksha mala, a gold chain and a red tilak; both have white jasmine garlands with red and yellow flowers and green leaves. Behind them, seated and standing devotees in purple and pink saris watch, and a large framed portrait of a man in orange hangs on the wall. The man's appearance does not clearly match a recognisable candidate, so identity is uncertain.
