A tiered silver aarti lamp with many lit oil lamps rises at the centre of the frame, held on a long silver handle by a man on the left edge. He is shaved-headed with a white tilak on his forehead, wears an orange-saffron cloth over his shoulder and a dark rudraksha mala, and his fingers grip the handle. Behind the lamp stands a dark red curtain and a black speaker. The flames suggest an aarti ceremony in a hall.

April 15 20132013-04-15July 27 20132013-07-27A photograph of a tiered silver aarti lamp stand with multiple rows of lit oil lamps, flames rising and smoke drifting, held by a man in orange robes with a white vertical tilak on his forehead and a white marking on his arm. He holds the ornate silver handle of the aarti lamp in his right hand, gazing toward the flames in a plain room with white walls, a barred window, electronic equipment and wooden cabinets behind him. This is a single person; no appearance-based a person candidate is established by the visible cues alone, so identity is unsure.2012-07-25April 28 20132013-04-28October 10 20122012-10-10A shaved-headed man in an orange-saffron cloth draped over one shoulder and bare-chested, wearing a long rudraksha mala, sits beside a tall multi-tiered silver aarti lamp with many lit oil lamps, holding a silver tray in his hands. White tilak marks are on his forehead and arms. A maroon curtain and a wall-mounted air conditioner stand in the background. The scene looks like an aarti ritual.2013-03-08October 24 20122012-10-24December 15 20112011-12-15May 30 20132013-05-30 +1 copiesSeptember 07 20142014-09-07A man in orange-brown ritual cloth holds a tiered brass aarti lamp with multiple rows of burning oil lamps, its curved handle extended toward his right hand.
