Photograph of a young shirtless man in a temple performing aarti. He wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over his shoulder and a rudraksha mala around his neck and arms, with white ash markings on his arms and a vertical tilak on his forehead. He holds a silver multi-wick oil lamp with flames aloft and gazes upward. Blurred golden deity murti and shrine decorations fill the background, with a few out-of-focus devotees at the bottom edge. a person candidate cues are absent here, as the figure lacks the distinctive long hair or crown described for the appearance-based label, so the identity is uncertain.
