A photograph of five small terracotta oil lamps (diyas) filled with golden oil and lit, arranged in a round woven bamboo basket set on dark reddish-brown earth at night. Tall orange flames rise from the wicks, with the flame blurred by motion. No people are visible. The lamps suggest a Deepam lamp offering, though the scene is a plain close view of lit diyas.
