A shaved-headed man seen from behind, wearing a maroon-red shawl over his shoulder and a rudraksha mala, raises a silver multi-wick oil lamp in his right hand as an offering. In front of him, a framed portrait of a smiling man in a yellow turban and yellow robe is set against a gold arched backdrop and a red banner. Two other seated people in red and maroon clothing are partly visible at the bottom edge. The scene resembles an aarti at a satsang setting; a painted portrait of a man in yellow is shown, not a physical person.
