Photograph inside a decorated pavilion showing a standing figure in a cream embroidered sherwani with long dark hair, wearing a multicoloured turban with pink and yellow tones and a sheer orange shawl draped over one shoulder. The figure rests one hand on the rim of a tall brass oil lamp (deepam) with a lit flame, set on a red-carpeted stage amid orange, yellow and pink flower arrangements and green palm leaves. Behind is a yellow and black wall panel with a bird-like motif edged in red and gold, and draped pink curtains. Visible physical people: the one standing figure; a partial arm of another person appears at the left edge holding a flower-laden tray. The figure appears to be a person: long hair, a turban and an orange shawl, with the lamp offering as the action.
