A man in a rust-brown robe wears a long garland of yellow marigolds and red roses and presses his palms together at his chest before a large golden throne with carved lion-head finials. A brass aarti lamp with a bright flame is held on a silver tray scattered with red petals by a person in white at the right edge. Behind him a second man in orange robes stands with hands folded in namaste, and a pillar hung with coloured fairy lights frames the hall. The scene reads as an aarti offering in a temple hall.
