A barefoot man in a lime-green silk dhoti-style garment with a teal border stands on a dark tiled floor under a large tree, holding a silver aarti plate with a burning flame in one hand and a silver bell in the other. He wears a multi-strand silver bead necklace, a silver armlet and bangles, and a red tilak on his forehead; his long dark hair is swept back. The setting is an outdoor temple courtyard with a round stone platform behind him. The gesture suggests aarti performed as an offering, and the flame is clearly visible. Appearance-based cues (long swept-back hair, ornate silver jewellery, ceremonial silk) are consistent with a candidate, but identity is uncertain.

Silver bead necklaces, bangles and an armlet are worn. The palms are pressed together in anjali mudra at the chest while the face looks upward. Behind is a large banyan tree with aerial roots, a magenta and yellow flower garland hangs at left, and a stone platform lies beside. The figure's appearance is consistent with the page's description, but the clothing and ornament cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so the figure is described by role only as a devotee in prayer.2011-12-16December 16 20112011-12-16A man in green ritual dress performs aarti outdoors, holding a silver lamp with a lit flame in one hand and a silver handbell in the other.
