Help please! What are the decorations on these Mehndi cupcakes?

[wem]

I've been asked to do cupcakes and been given this link. I can see the dholki drums and the cushions, but can't make out what the other decorations are. Any ideas?

Cant help but these look lovely .thebigfatindianwedding.com/2011/henna-cupcakes-deliciousness/

It says it's a chirag, google says chirag is a man's name meaning candle flame...

Wow, they are gorgeous!

thanks tabulahrasa, they look like the could be little genie-in-the-lamp type lamps don't they?

It's a diya!
