A man with long dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead stands outdoors in an orange saffron robe with a gold bead necklace, holding a brass oil lamp with a curved handle and a lit flame at the top. Beneath it he holds a cut-glass tray. Blurred palm fronds and an overcast sky fill the background. He appears to be performing an aarti with the lamp. The figure has distinctive long swept hair, orange clothing and gold beads, a visible presentation cue, so this is a person in person; a second person in orange stands at the right edge holding the lamp.
