A seated figure in a red-maroon robe and a long beaded rudraksha necklace sits on an ornate gold throne with a carved backrest and a striped cloth draped over the seat, in front of a painted blue and pink shrine with green-striped pillars and hanging oil lamps. A priest in a reddish-brown dhoti stands at left, holding a lit flame or aarti lamp toward the seated figure, while small brass lamps stand on either side. The seated figure appears to be a candidate for a person, identifiable by the throne and rudraksha mala, with the same appearance cues as described on the page, though the face is not clearly distinguishable. Gold and pink decorative figures of birds appear on the shrine edges. Aarti is being offered in a temple setting.
