Many hold small lit oil lamps (diyas) and brass bells or small brass vessels, and brass plates with flowers, betel leaves and offerings sit on orange mats before them. Several women wear orange or yellow shawls and gold bangles; one older woman in the foreground wears an orange sari with a maroon border and holds a bell. Open books and papers lie on the floor, and a striped cloth backdrop hangs behind them. This appears to be a group chanting or puja with oil lamps; no a person depiction is clearly visible.2010-10-10
