A standing man in saffron-orange robes with a gold-bead necklace and a rudraksha mala holds a flaming oil lamp, a small flame over a metal dish, while seated beside a silver-ornate throne with a leopard-print cushion. Two shaved-headed seated men in saffron cloth, one with white forehead tripundra marks, flank him; one gestures open-handed and the other touches his ear. A microphone is clipped to the standing man's head. Behind them are a red-painted pillar and courtyard. The standing man has long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi, cues consistent with a person performing an aarti with a lamp, while the seated men are attendants or devotees.
