Clay Diwali Lamps Glow in Monsoon Shrine

by Dawn Blankenship

Rows of small clay oil lamps sit on a low stone ledge inside a shrine near Kolkata. Gray monsoon clouds hang low outside, pushing soft overcast light into the space. The rough earthenware of each lamp holds a pool of ghee with a steady yellow flame. Dampness coats the dark stone floor, reflecting the warm glow from the wicks. Blurred green leaves and wet earth occupy the immediate foreground, creating a shallow depth of field that isolates the burning diyas. Condensation gathers on the stone walls beside the lamps. A drop of water rests on the rim of the nearest lamp, mirroring the flame within.
