Diwali Oil Lamps in Temple Courtyard

by Elijah Dunn

Molten gold light floods a row of earthen oil lamps lining the wet stone floor of a temple courtyard near Delhi. Each clay diya holds a small, steady flame that flickers against the humid midsummer air. Water droplets rest on the rough clay surfaces and reflect the warm glow. The stone pavement glistens with recent rain, creating a mirror-like sheen that stretches toward the darkening temple arches in the background. Long shadows stretch forward from the lamps, while the sky above transitions from deep orange to soft violet. The flames dance slightly, casting a rhythmic pattern of light and dark across the damp ground.
