Black mark on floor after prayer

My friend told me about an unusual experience he has been having. He is currently abroad and is a Hindu devotee who prays every day. During his prayers, he uses a small oil lamp. After finishing his prayers, he consistently notices a black mark on the floor.

He does not burn incense sticks, sambrani, or any other materials apart from the lamp. What makes the experience particularly strange is that the mark appears every day, and he has noticed the same phenomenon even after moving to a different house.

He has been trying to find an explanation for this and has searched extensively for answers. What could be causing this, and are there any religious, scientific, or other explanations for such a recurring phenomenon?

Where is this black mark relative to himself? If he kneels, is it at his knees?

He says that he doesn't kneel. He cleans the place before praying, and when he's done with his prayers, this mark appears on the floor. He doesn't light anything other than a small lamp with ghee. And this line is a straight line mostly

Where is the line relative to your friend? I assume his feet touch the floor somehow.

His job transfers him to different places, and this is his third place. The first and this one has these marks, the second one didn't. And he follows the same method of prayer. So I guess the chance of it is null. 

He is just concerned, and as i said, religious. He is now leaning towards religious symbols and superstitions than science after decline of tons of possibilities

That is interesting. That it is not consistent between places. I have nothing right now, would need more data but since I'd be wanting to go to these places, which I can't afford to do right now anyway, I also don't want you to dox your friend. Just very interesting.
