A smiling person in a rust-orange turban with a gold crest and a red-orange shawl holds a lit oil lamp in both hands, the flame bright at right. A long garland of red beads and white flowers hangs across the chest, with gold ceremonial necklaces and a gold armlet. A large painted deity statue with raised hand stands at the right edge, and draped maroon curtains and a gold-toned lamp stand fill the background. Swamiji (probable) appearance cues include the ornate turban and gold necklaces, consistent with a ceremonial aarti.
