A bald man in orange-saffron robes and a rudraksha mala stands at a stage, holding a silver multi-branch oil lamp aloft with lit flames in his right hand and a bell in his left. White horizontal tilak marks cover his forehead and arms, with a red bindi between the brows, and gold bangles and a wristwatch are visible. Behind him, screens show several video-link participants in different homes and temples, including a man in red seated on a sofa and a woman in pink. Other saffron-clad people stand in the background. The scene suggests a live satsang broadcast with an aarti being performed.

Seated devotees in orange robes sit on red cloth behind him beside audio mixing equipment and cables. A gold-and-red throne with a gilded lion-head finial stands at the right edge. The scene appears to be a lamp-waving ritual during a satsang or puja.
