A priest in saffron-orange robes with a red-and-orange headcloth and white tilak on his forehead performs aarti with a lit oil lamp before a deity murti decorated with red and white flower garlands and peacock feathers. The murti wears a black crown and a golden ornament, sits on an orange silk cloth with a purple border, and is set within a golden canopy hung with garlands and bells. A woman in a green sari stands behind the priest, observing the ritual. The priest's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so no a person identification is made.
