A photograph of a brass multi-branched oil lamp stand with several lit flames in a dim, dark stone niche. The central lamp is taller, with smaller lamps on curved arms on either side. Behind them a dark stone or murti is partly visible, draped in white cloth with a red and gold border, and a small red mark sits near the top of the niche. Partial white-clad figures appear at the left and right edges, with their hands and bodies cut off by the frame. A small hand rests at the lower right on the brass tray. The scene suggests a night puja with lamp offerings.
