Close photograph of a brass five-branched oil lamp with multiple flames burning upward from its cups, set on a round polished brass base. Smoke or incense haze drifts around the lamp in a warm, dim room. No people or deity figures are visible; the lamp appears to be part of a Diwali puja arrangement at a temple.

A close photograph of an antique brass ritual object resting on a red fabric woven with gold floral brocade. The object has a curved brass stem ending in two round footed bases, and a carved figure with a crown-like head and dark cloth or fibre attached to its upper part. No people are visible. The scene is lit warmly, showing the metallic sheen of the brass against the red and gold textile.

No people are visible. The lamp is the main subject, with warm golden light and soft bokeh.

A close photograph of a brass multi-branched oil lamp with several cups holding lit flames, the central and left wicks burning. Ornate curled stems and scrolled supports decorate the lamp. The background is a soft blur of warm orange, yellow and red tones, and a hand with a red thread is visible at the lower left edge. No people are clearly visible beyond that partial hand, and no a person appearance can be established from the image.

A photograph focused on a brass multi-branched oil lamp (aarti lamp) with three lit flames, held on a flat tray by a hand at the bottom edge of the frame. Its ornate, scrolled brass arms are in sharp focus against a blurred background of deep red drapes and a large golden floral arch or garland. A white pedestal is faintly visible at the left. The scene suggests an aarti or puja setting; no full person or face is visible.
