A priest, seen from behind and partly at the left edge, bare-shouldered with a dhoti and reddish cloth, raises a multi-branched brass lamp with several lit flames toward a shrine. Three deity murti stand or sit within gold-framed niches: a standing figure in red and orange garments with a crown and necklaces, a seated figure in silver ornaments and a tall crown, and another figure in red with a crown. A lion figure sits at the base of the left shrine, and green cloth covers the altar platform. Gold ornate arches surround the shrine, and a timestamp reads 18 août 2022 19:41:25. This is an evening aarti at the shrine.
