A tiered silver aarti lamp with multiple rows of lit oil lamps is held aloft in the foreground by a priest whose head and hand are visible at lower left, wearing a dark garment. Behind the lamp, a blurred temple interior shows a framed picture, a gold-toned deity murti or throne area, and string lights of orange bokeh. Painted blue walls, yellow borders and green and pink pillars frame the shrine. The scene suggests an aarti ceremony in a temple.
