A man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban stands in smoky light holding a silver tray with a lit brass oil lamp of three flames. He wears a rudraksha mala and a gold-coloured garland over his shoulder and has beaded bracelets on his wrist. Behind him, an ornate decorated structure with red, yellow and white floral patterns and a gilded top forms the backdrop, with another figure partly visible beside it. Swamiji (probable): the orange turban, saffron robes, rudraksha mala and ornate garland match the presentation cues, and he is performing the aarti as the officiant.
