A photograph taken in darkness of a circular arrangement of lit oil lamps (diyas) surrounding a central pile of red flower petals and small offerings, set on a dark ground. Dark petals and a faint white floral pattern radiate outward, and a dark ornamental symbol shaped like an om is drawn in petals to the right. No people are visible. This image appears to show a lamp-lit decoration as part of a festival display.
