Bare arms and a bare-skinned forearm wearing beaded bracelets are visible. Another lit brass lamp sits to the right near a bare foot. Behind them, several other lamps burn in a row on a floor set with striped cloth in pink, red, green and purple, and brass plates with offerings. A copper water bottle stands in the left foreground. Only a few partial figures are visible, so this looks like a lamp-lit puja or aarti with participants seated along the floor.2017-01-22January 14 20172017-01-14February 22 20112011-02-22January 17 20172017-01-17March 30 20172017-03-30Photo 11709658January 10 20172017-01-10January 22 20172017-01-22
