Close photo of a priest in an orange-saffron cloth and rudraksha mala performing an aarti with a brass oil lamp and handbell. He wears a tall dark turban-style hairstyle, a red tilak on his forehead, and a red thread on his wrist, with a gold-tinsel and yellow-flower background behind him. The flame of the lamp is lit and smoke rises near his face. The page links this to Paramashivoham day three. a person cues are not clearly met by the visible appearance, so the identity is left as a priest.
