A man in saffron-orange robes holds up a tall silver multi-tiered aarti lamp with many lit oil lamps burning on each of its five or six tiers. He has a vertical red mark and white tripundra on his forehead and a yellow-gold bead necklace, and wears glasses. Behind him are a red curtain, a monitor showing video and a small digital display on a white table with people seated at the edge of the frame. The scene reads as an aarti being performed.
