A photograph of a ritual arrangement on a dark floor at night. A round brass tray holds many lit oil lamps (diyas) surrounded by red and orange flower petals and white flowers, set on a white chalk kolam-style floral pattern. Below the tray, an OM symbol is formed from scattered dark red petals and flowers. No people are visible. The setting suggests a Karthikai Deepam lamp offering.
