A tiered brass lamp stand with five circular trays, each holding many lit oil lamps, rises through the dark frame. A hand reaches in from the upper right to hold or tend the top lamp, and a second hand appears at the lower right. Smoke or incense wisps rise past the flames. No people's faces are visible and no other figures are present in the frame. This appears to be an aarti-style lamp offering set against a black background.
