A man in a maroon-red turban with a gold crescent ornament and gold tikka stands smiling at night, holding a flaming oil lamp in one hand and a brass bell in the other. He wears layered gold necklaces, a coin-like pendant, gold armlets and bangles, and garlands of pink and white flowers. Behind him, two bare-chested men with white forehead markings and rudraksha malas stand in dim, dense green foliage. The scene suggests an evening aarti being performed outdoors. A purple and yellow flower garland hangs at the left edge. The figure in the turban has distinctive ceremonial adornments and the page identifies this event with a person, so the appearance-based candidate is a person, shown in person performing the aarti.
