A photograph of a brass multi-branched oil lamp held in a person's hand against a dark background. Five flames burn on the lamp's arms, with wisps of smoke rising above. The hand wears a thin bracelet at the wrist. A bright blurred light appears at the top of the frame. No faces are visible, and no clearly identifiable person is shown, so a person is unsure. Only the hand and lamp are visible, and the lamp is an oil lamp rather than a fire pit.

The person's forearm shows white ash markings and they wear a thin wrist string and bangles. Plain black background. No faces visible.

A close-up photograph of a brass multi-tiered oil lamp (aarti lamp) with several flames burning upward, smoke curling through the air against a reddish background. A partial hand is visible holding the base of the lamp. The lamp has ornate curved brass arms and small cup-shaped wicks. No people are clearly visible apart from the hand, and no a person candidate appears in the frame.

A photograph in a dark room showing a brass five-flame oil lamp, an aarti lamp, held on a flat tray by a hand at lower left, with a second hand striking a lighter near it. The flames glow orange and gold against black. Blurred shapes in the background suggest an altar or deity area. No people's faces are visible and no a person candidate appears in the frame.

A brass multi-branch oil lamp with five lit wicks burns in a dark room, set on a dark wooden surface. Only a partial human hand or arm is visible at the left edge, tending the lamp. The flames are the main light source, with the decorative lamp stand showing ornate curled designs. The background is almost fully dark.

Close photo of a person's hands holding a silver multi-wick aarti lamp with flames rising and smoke curling upward against a dark background. The person wears a yellow patterned garment and a gold bangle on the wrist, with a green leaf tucked near the lamp tray. Only hands and forearms are visible, so no face or full figure appears. The ritual setting suggests an aarti offering.
