A photograph of a tall brass multi-tiered oil lamp (aarti lamp) with many lit wicks and a large flame rising from the top. Several rings of small flames surround the lamp on a striped woven mat, and a brass figure stands beside it. Blurred white-clad figures sit in the background and a hand in white cloth holds the base. The scene suggests an evening aarti ritual. Watermarked text along the right edge is excluded.
