Rows of small terracotta oil lamps with lit wicks sit along a stone ledge at night, their warm flames casting glow on the grey stone surface. A blurred white-clothed figure is partly visible at the upper left edge, seated out of focus. The scene shows lamps lit for a Karthikai Deepam celebration; the oil lamps are the clear focus, with dark shadows around them.
