More about Vibrant Diya on Colorful Rangoli Design

A top-down, close-up shot of a lit diya, or oil lamp, with a vibrant flame, resting on a round, flat, painted rangoli-style decoration. The decoration features concentric circles and stylized lotus petal motifs in shades of red, orange, gold, black, gray, and white. The innermost circle directly beneath the diya is red, surrounded by orange, then by a ring of red, gray, and white lotus petals. Beyond this is a larger black circle, followed by another ring of red, gray, and white lotus petals. The outermost ring is a pattern of red, gold, and orange scalloped wave-like designs. The entire assembly sits on a dark brown, wooden, rimmed tray. To the upper left, fresh green leaves with a waxy finish are visible, partially obscuring a light-colored, textured fabric, possibly burlap or linen, which is also visible to the lower left. The background of the tray appears to be a muted red fabric.
