In the centre a man in a red-orange turban and a dark red-brown robe with gold trim holds a metal aarti plate with a lit flame and a gold chain around his neck; a bare-chested man in a cream dhoti and blue shawl with a lanyard stands to the left, and a woman in orange sari with a rudraksha mala raises her hands in a gesture of worship beside him. Several people in orange robes and a shaved-headed man in white stand around, and a copper vessel sits on the floor.
