He wears an orange saffron garment, a white and red flower garland, a rudraksha mala and gold bangles, and holds a lit oil lamp with a flame in one hand and a bell in the other. The murti, dressed in orange with a jeweled crown, is adorned with yellow and red flower garlands, gold hands and ornaments, and a backdrop of colourful garlands and green drapery. The appearance-based label Swamiji (probable) applies to the man performing the aarti, based on the long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala.2011-12-11A standing man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, with a white and multicoloured flower garland, rings a brass handbell and holds a small ritual object while performing worship before a deity murti seated on a golden throne-like peetha decorated with yellow, red and white flowers.
