Night photograph of a woman with long, dark, wavy hair wearing an orange saffron-coloured sari with a golden border and a heavy gold bead necklace, holding a lit brass oil lamp (aarti) in both hands while her eyes are closed and she smiles. Smoke rises above her. Beside her, a bronze-coloured deity murti with a crown and multiple arms is being honoured, and a man in orange clothing with a white forehead mark stands behind her. On the far left, a bald man in orange holds a rudraksha mala. The appearance of the woman with long hair, ornate gold necklaces and saffron clothing gives a person candidate in an aarti role, though the presentation is not fully confirmed.
