Close-up photo of a brass multi-branched oil lamp with several flames burning, placed on a stone surface. A man's hand, wearing a rudraksha bracelet and orange-saffron cloth at the sleeve, reaches toward the lamp. Behind it, garlands of yellow and red marigolds hang on a stand, with a red-and-yellow flag and smoke drifting in the background. Looks like a lamp-lighting ritual; no identifiable face is visible.
