Photograph at dusk of a large oil lamp burning on a raised pale platform in front of a stone temple gopuram with carved tiers and lion-like finials. The lamp, a deep brass-toned dish wreathed with white flower garland, has a tall flame rising from it. A full moon sits in the dark blue sky above, and palm trees frame the left side. The open temple doorway behind the lamp is lit inside, with hanging cloth panels visible. No people are visible.
