A priest in a white dhoti with a bare upper body kneels at a shrine on the right, holding a small lamp or ritual object over a row of lit oil lamps arranged on a tiled floor in front of a banana leaf. Behind him a white-marble-style shrine altar with a framed sacred image, flowers and garlands is lit by fairy lights, and a large carved arch frames a statue of a figure wearing an orange-red turban, a beaded necklace and ornate clothing, seated in a yellow-walled niche. The scene suggests a puja or aarti in a home or small temple room.
