A man in a red-orange turban with a gold ornament and an ornate gold necklace and rudraksha-style beads, wearing a red-orange dhoti-style garment with gold waistband and gold armband, stands barefoot smiling and gesturing with his right hand toward a brass oil lamp (kuthuvilakku) burning with a flame, held by a second person in a matching red turban at the right edge. Marigold and yellow flower petals lie on the floor, and a red velvet and gold chair holds a flower garland. Behind, a woman in a gold-brown sari stands near a statue of a woman, and a wooden cabinet and brass urn sit in the background. This is an appearance-based a person candidate in the centre, shown with a turban, distinctive ornate gold jewellery and saffron-red robes, performing a lamp-lighting or aarti-style ritual. Two people are visible in the scene.
