A close photograph of a person's hand raising a lit camphor flame during a puja. The hand wears a dark braided bracelet and holds the burning camphor aloft. Behind it, a worship arrangement sits on an orange cloth with brass plates of offerings, small oil lamps glowing, and a yellow cloth on a green mat. Blurred deity images or framed pictures appear in the background. The scene suggests an aarti ritual. Only the single visible hand belongs to a physical person; no face or identity is shown.
