Devotees perform an aarti with oil lamps in a hall with pink walls and red curtains. Three people stand at the front: a woman in orange clothing with short grey hair holds a lit lamp, a man in a white kurta with an orange shawl holds a lamp, and a man in an orange robe and orange shawl with a shaved head holds a lit lamp in both hands. Seated devotees in white and orange clothing fold their hands in prayer, and banana-leaf plates of offerings sit on the floor. Framed portraits hang on the wall above. The scene shows a satsang-style aarti with lamp flames visible.

A photograph of an indoor satsang hall with pink walls, red curtains and framed deity pictures above. Three standing figures hold brass oil lamps with lit flames. On the left, a woman in orange robes with short grey hair holds a lamp. In the centre, a man in white kurta with an orange scarf holds a lamp. On the right, a bald man with glasses wears an orange robe and holds a lamp, bending slightly forward. Seated devotees in white with orange shawls, many with palms pressed together, fill the floor, with brass plates of offerings in front. A figure with a crown-like head covering is not present; the scene reads as an aarti during satsang.
