In the foreground a bare-chested man in a reddish-brown dhoti-style wrap holds a silver oil lamp (aarti) with a bright flame raised in his right hand. He wears a long multi-strand rudraksha mala and gold beads, with a bracelet on his wrist, and has a tilak on his forehead. Behind him a white-clad figure stands near a tall staff with gold-and-red ceremonial banners on the left. Green foliage and bright stage light fill the background, with seated devotees along the bottom edge.2017-09-28March 18 20132013-03-18October 16 20122012-10-16October 16 20122012-10-16A man in a rust-red sleeveless robe with a gold-edged belt and rudraksha beads stands in profile, holding a silver aarti lamp with a flame and a trail of smoke. He has long, loose dark hair, a gold pendant necklace and a red thread on his wrist, and his eyes are closed. Behind him are blurred colourful lights and a screen, and a gold-carved pillar is at the left edge. A ritual aarti is being performed in a temple-like setting.2017-11-15March 10 20132013-03-10A young man with short cropped hair, bare-shouldered in an orange-saffron wrap with a maroon border, stands in profile holding a silver aarti lamp with a bright flame and rising smoke. He wears a gold bead necklace and gold bangles. Behind him, the dark outdoor setting shows a grey tarpaulin and red poles, and in the lower right two women with folded hands are partly visible, performing evening aarti.2012-10-16A man in a saffron-orange and maroon dhoti-style wrap stands against a dark night background, holding a silver aarti lamp with a large flame in his raised right hand and a brass bell in his left. He wears a long necklace of gold beads with a pendant, bangles on his wrist, and looks upward toward the flame. Smoke rises from the lamp at the top left. This appears to be an evening aarti ritual. The man has short dark hair and no visible crown or long hair, so his identity cannot be confirmed from appearance; he is described by role as a priest performing aarti.2012-10-16February 14 20162016-02-14September 28 20172017-09-28 +1 copiesDecember 30 20182018-12-30
