A barefoot man in rust-orange robes with a gold-bordered dhoti and an orange shawl stands on a pale floor, raising a lit aarti lamp high in his right hand while holding a small brass bell or plate in his left. He wears a rudraksha mala with a large gold pendant and a tilak on his forehead. Behind him are black plastic chairs, a red mat and a white banner, in a large hall. The attire and ceremonial lamp suggest a puja. One person is visible.

Behind him a golden framed structure sits beneath an orange canopy, and several seated devotees in white and red clothing sit with palms pressed together.

He has a shaved head and wears a dark rudraksha mala around his neck, with an orange-saffron dhoti wrapped at the waist. Behind him is a patterned mandala-style backdrop and a framed picture on a white wall, and a dark banner with partial lettering is visible at the lower right.
