A four-panel collage of the same scene at dusk outdoors. In each panel a person with long dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron garment with a rudraksha-style necklace and bangles, holds a lit flame or oil lamp and performs an aarti before a decorated deity murti. The murti sits in a gilded arched shrine framed with garlands of yellow and orange marigolds and red flowers, and a blue-and-gold drapery is visible. Smoke drifts in the air and a building stands in the background.
