Three men in white kurtas with yellow shawls stand at a raised counter in a hall with a corrugated ceiling and white walls, each raising a brass aarti lamp with a lit flame overhead and holding a small brass bell in the other hand. Seated in front, a woman in an orange sari and another in a pink patterned sari watch, and brass puja vessels and a brass plate sit on the counter. Men wearing rudraksha malas stand at the far right, and a brass ritual bowl rests at the front. This is an evening aarti ceremony.
