Photo 11706203 +1 copiesPhoto 11705893 +1 copiesA close photograph of a hand raising a brass multi-wick oil lamp (aarti lamp) with five lit flames against a deep red curtain backdrop. The hand, showing a faded tattoo, wears a bracelet of dark beads with red and orange threads. The gold-toned lamp has ornate scrolled arms and a central stem. No other people are visible. This is ritual aarti with lamps, not a named event.2017-09-08 +1 copiesAugust 16 20172017-08-16April 13 20172017-04-13July 18 20172017-07-18Photo 11740536 +2 copiesSeptember 08 20172017-09-08Photo 11740563 +2 copiesAugust 10 20172017-08-10 +1 copiesA brass aarti lamp with multiple lit oil wicks on tiered ornate stands is held aloft by a person in an orange saffron cloth head covering, with beaded rudraksha bracelets on the wrists and white ash marks on the forearm. A small brass handbell is held in the other hand. The background is a deep red draped curtain with a golden panel at left. The scene suggests an aarti ritual. Only hands and the lower face area of one person are visible; no distinctive a person cues such as long hair or a crown are shown, so identity is uncertain.2017-08-11 +1 copiesJuly 18 20172017-07-18
