A kneeling attendant in orange dhoti and bare chest holds a lit lamp or aarti tray toward him, while another attendant in orange kneels at right beside a microphone. Behind them stands a decorated deity murti garlanded with marigolds and pink-white flower strings, with gold foliage and an ornamental canopy above. Red curtains, gold pillars and orange-and-red decorated banners frame the scene. Kneeling attendants and folded hands suggest a satsang or aarti ritual.
