A man in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha beads holds a brass aarti lamp with a lit flame in both hands at a temple-style ceremony. He has a shaved head and a bare upper body with a shawl draped over the shoulders, and a gold necklace is visible. Behind him, a few seated devotees and a woman in a pale garment are partly visible, and an oil lamp or light fixture glows in the background. The scene suggests aarti performed during puja.
