A brass multi-wick oil lamp, a vilakku, stands centrally on a dark glossy surface before a blue silk drape with gold-thread embroidery and a green-and-gold border. Several flames burn upward from the lamp's cups. An ornate gold and jewelled crown-like ornament hangs above the lamp against the drape. Pale pink and white rose petals are scattered in the foreground, and a small brass figurine and a plain metal bowl sit to the side on a metal tray.
