A photo of a tiered silver oil lamp with many lit wicks being held up in a temple setting. A hand holding the stand is visible at the bottom right. Behind it sits a copper-coloured crown or mukut studded with red stones, resting on flower garlands of white, orange and yellow. A green cloth and an ornately carved gold-toned arch frame the scene. No physical people are clearly visible beyond the partial hand, and no a person candidate is identifiable in the frame.
