A night photograph of a tall tiered brass oil lamp stand, known as a deepa stambha, lit with many flames across several horizontal trays. The ornate golden-brown metal stand has curling branch-like arms holding rows of burning oil lamps, with a dark garden of leafy shrubs on the left and a dim temple structure on the right. No people are visible. Small birds perch on some of the trays between the flames.
