A 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.2017-08-11September 08 20172017-09-08 +1 copiesA photograph of a person in orange-saffron clothing seen from behind, holding a brass tray with a multi-branched brass oil lamp with several lit flames, the stems decorated with ornate sculpted figures. The lamp is carried against a backdrop of deep red draped curtains. The person has long dark hair and wears a wide metal armlet on the upper arm, and only the shoulder and arm are visible. This appears to be an aarti or lamp offering being carried in a ritual setting.2017-07-24August 24 20172017-08-24 +1 copiesSeptember 08 20172017-09-08 +1 copiesA 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.2017-07-27February 07 20162016-02-07July 21 20172017-07-21August 15 20172017-08-15August 10 20172017-08-10 +1 copiesA close photograph of a brass aarti lamp held aloft by a hand.
