A seated figure in saffron-orange clothing with a long swept-back hairstyle, a white-and-red forehead mark, red and white flower garlands and a gold necklace performs a lamp ritual beside a decorated deity murti. The murti wears a golden crown and is draped in yellow, red and white flower garlands and a pink-and-yellow cloth. In front, a silver kalasha vessel, a small brass lamp with a flame, and a small figurine sit on a green-covered table. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has distinctive long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha-style red beads and gold ornaments, matching the page's claim of his presence. The scene suggests a puja or aarti.
