Close-up photograph of a pair of hands holding a brass oil lamp (diya) with a lit flame and a small brass bell hanging beneath it. The wrist wears a wrapped orange-red thread bracelet and a metallic cuff bangle. The lower foreground shows orange-saffron cloth draped over a seated figure, on a pale beige surface. Shallow depth of field blurs the background. Only the hands and lap are visible, so the person's face and identity are not shown; the appearance is not enough to identify a person candidate.
