A close photograph of a brass multi-branched oil lamp with five lit wicks in cups along curved arms and a flared base. A partially visible hand, with a thin bare forearm and a dark braided thread at the left edge, tends the flames. Behind the lamp is a draped red fabric and a pale surface with a red cord at the right. No people are fully visible and no person's face is shown. The scene suggests an evening puja or aarti lamp ritual; the lamps are oil lamps.2017-07-27August 08 20172017-08-08August 24 20172017-08-24 +1 copiesA photograph of a person in orange-saffron clothing seen from behind, holding a brass tray with a multi-branched brass oil lamp with several lit flames, the stems decorated with ornate sculpted figures.
