The trick to shooting a candle is to open the aperture up to about F/3.5 and do a longer exposure with the iso set to 100....this way the photos isn't as noisy.

You also want to show some of the holy place mentioned in the title.

That is better now you only need to increase your exposure time to let more light in and remove your timestamp since it takes away from the image. I suggest you start with F/4, iso 100, 5 second exposure. Go from there and you might get some great light that will fill in the shadows and really give that feeling you're going for.

Hi Sprasad I like the first image. IMO it needs noise reduction and sharpening and the timestamp distracts.
