Close-up photograph of a brass multi-branched oil lamp with several lit flames, held near a dark stone deity murti draped in an orange-red cloth and crowned with pink flower garlands, set in an ornate golden arched frame. A bare-skinned hand with bangles and a pink-tinged finger is visible at the lower left, apparently offering or tending the lamp. The background is gold. No identifiable person's face is shown; the scene is a temple worship moment with oil lamps and a deity.
