A bare-chested man in a rust-brown cloth wrap stands in a white-walled hall, holding a tall silver multi-tiered aarti lamp with many lit oil lamps in both hands and blowing toward its flames. He wears a long gold necklace with a large pendant, rudraksha-style beaded bracelets and glasses. Behind him, seated devotees, including children, watch, and a microphone stand is visible at right. Whether this man is the named teacher cannot be determined from appearance, so the role is described as a priest performing aarti.

He wears glasses and silver bangles, and a red velvet curtain, a studio light and a camera on a tripod are visible in the background. A purple bird logo appears in the upper left corner. The scene reads as an aarti ceremony during an indoor event.2011-11-06July 27 20132013-07-27October 07 20122012-10-07May 30 20132013-05-30 +1 copiesApril 28 20132013-04-28November 29 20112011-11-29November 11 20112011-11-11A shaved-headed man in an orange-saffron robe and a gold bead necklace holds a tall silver multi-tiered aarti lamp with many lit oil lamps, raising it with a focused, upward gaze. Behind him hangs a red and cream draped cloth backdrop beside a window grille. A camera operator and another person stand partly visible at the right edge. The man appears to be a priest or sannyasi performing aarti; his identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, and the page cues are insufficient to name him. The scene is an indoor ritual setting with warm lamp light.2012-09-23September 22 20122012-09-22October 07 20122012-10-07November 27 20112011-11-27
