A man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban stands at left, wearing a long multicolored flower garland, and holds a metal ritual vessel from which flames rise. Beside him on a decorated altar are two metal deity murtis, one seated with a raised hand, and a large yellow marigold garland draped over offerings. Brass and silver puja vessels, bowls of flowers and fruit sit on a cloth in front, under a canopy with purple and white decorations. The scene suggests a fire ritual or aarti at an outdoor puja tent.
