A photograph of a man in a white shirt and orange-and-brown rudraksha mala holding a small brass oil lamp with a lit flame toward the camera, wearing clear-framed glasses and a rudraksha bracelet. Behind him, a man in a purple-pink shirt presses his palms together in anjali, and a boy in a purple shirt with a light forehead mark sits with hands folded near his face among seated devotees. The setting suggests a satsang or aarti moment with an oil lamp offering.
