A close photograph of a large polished brass or bronze lamp on a red and gold cloth-draped table. A single flame burns at the left edge of the wick, lighting the metal rim and the dark oil in the bowl, where a few wick pieces float. Behind it, a saffron-orange cloth and a strand of yellow marigold garland appear softly out of focus. No people are visible. The scene suggests an evening arati lamp being prepared or lit at a temple setting.
