A person's arm, with a brown skin tone, gold bangle and orange-red sleeve or cloth, reaches in from the left to tend the lamps. The surface beneath is pale marble, and a white cloth lies at the upper left. No faces are visible, and no a person candidate is shown. Only the hand and arm of one person are visible.2017-03-14March 14 20172017-03-14Close photograph of brass oil lamps (diyas) burning on polished brass trays in a temple setting.
