A bare-chested priest in an orange-red dhoti stands at left, holding a lit lamp toward a deity murti in a gilded shrine arch. The murti is adorned with white and silver garments, a rudraksha-style bead necklace and a flower garland, and a flame flickers before it. Brass lamps and rose petals sit on the floor, and the wall carvings are gold and ornate. The priest wears a headband with a silver crown-like ornament and a rudraksha mala. Performing an aarti or puja, the priest is shown with a clearly ceremonial posture. The scene is a temple ritual.
