A man in an orange-red shawl and matching robe stands in smoky haze, holding a lit oil lamp in his left hand and a silver handbell in his right while he smiles with eyes lowered. He wears a white horizontal tilak with a red dot on his forehead, a gold necklace and a rudraksha mala with a gold-mesh pendant, and the shawl bears dark printed motifs. Behind him, seated devotees in orange clothing watch, including a woman on the left holding a small object; a second person in a headscarf stands farther back. The scene suggests an aarti or lamp-offering ritual.
