A man in a maroon-red turban decorated with green beads and gold ornaments stands beside a richly decorated deity murti, performing aarti. He wears a bare-chested maroon dhoti-style garment, heavy gold necklaces, a gold armlet and bangles, and long white and pink jasmine and rose garlands. He holds a lit oil lamp on a brass plate in one hand and a silver bell in the other, while smiling toward the murti. The murti is draped in red, orange, purple and white flower garlands and wears gold and jewelled adornments, with incense smoke rising behind. The setting is a temple-like space with a deep red curtain.
