A tall polished brass lamp stands at the centre of a white kolam floor design, its top crowned with yellow marigold flowers and a lit oil lamp. Its base is decorated with painted red, pink and gold motifs and two small figures. Around it lie many small clay diyas, some red, orange and yellow, lit with flames, scattered with marigold petals. A red-cushioned seat and brass furniture appear blurred in the background. No people are visible; this is a Diwali lamp arrangement.
