A seated man in an orange-red dhoti and bare-shouldered wrap sits at a low table at night, wearing a thick multicolour garland of yellow and red flowers with green leaves. His eyes are closed and he holds a clear glass jar with a lit flame inside, which a young man standing to the right, with a white forehead mark, bare chest, orange cloth and gold bead necklace, extends toward him. Dark foliage fills the background and a bystander in white stands at the right edge. Oil lamp and flower garland suggest an aarti or puja setting.
