In the foreground, a person in orange clothing with white ritual markings on the arm holds a tiered silver aarti lamp lit with many oil flames toward the throne. Painted guardian figures in gold and pink flank the doorway, and a small kneeling figure is painted on the right pillar. Brass lamps stand on the floor, with a red and gold carpet beneath. The scene shows aarti being offered in a temple-style hall. Visible people: the throne figure and the aarti-holder, plus a partially visible person at the left edge.
