A close photograph of a brass multi-branched oil lamp with five lit wicks in cups along curved arms and a flared base. A partially visible hand, with a thin bare forearm and a dark braided thread at the left edge, tends the flames. Behind the lamp is a draped red fabric and a pale surface with a red cord at the right. No people are fully visible and no person's face is shown. The scene suggests an evening puja or aarti lamp ritual; the lamps are oil lamps.

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.

A photograph in a dark interior showing a brass multi-wick oil lamp with several lit flames held up in the foreground. Warm glowing flames contrast with the shadowy background, and blurred points of light suggest more lamps nearby. A glimpse of a red-orange cloth and an ornate gold-toned object appears at the upper right. The lamp appears to be part of a ritual, possibly aarti. No people are clearly visible apart from a partial arm holding the lamp.
