Candles being lighted by the devout at the Basilica of Bom Jesus in Goa

The flame of lighted candles inside the Basilica of Bom Jesus in Old Goa. The Basilica is an important destination for tourists (who who visit other points besides the beaches of Goa), since it is UNESCO World Heritage site, and also contains the well preserved body of St. Francis Xavier, who was one of the founders of the Society of Jesus.
Right after you exit the main body of the Basilica, you come across a metal container in a corridor, where you can light candles (and at any time, you will find tourists doing that).
