A photograph of a small room with pale yellow walls and white tiled floor. In the foreground, a man with long, dark, flowing hair and a beard wears an orange-red jacket and maroon dhoti, bending over an orange-draped table to tend a brass aarti lamp with a large flame. Beside the lamp are brass bowls of flower petals and fruit, and a framed photograph on the wall is decorated with a marigold garland and a red ribbon. Behind him, an older man in white dhoti with a rudraksha mala and glasses stands with palms joined, and two other men in shirts stand nearby with hands folded in namaste, indicating a puja or aarti offering. Four or more people are visible in the room, though several are partially cut off at the edges.
