Night photograph of a tall ornate copper deepam lamp pillar with a flame-tipped top, rising against a dark sky with a moon. A man with long dark hair in an orange robe with gold border and a leopard-print shawl holds an orange rope that runs up to the lamp, pulling it, while a gold bead mala hangs at his chest. A second figure in orange stands at the right edge, and a few other people are partially visible at the bottom. Appearance-based candidate, a person, is the man lighting the lamp, identified by long swept hair, saffron-orange robe, gold ceremonial necklace and leopard shawl.
