A photograph of women seated on mats in a hall performing a puja with hands pressed together in namaskar. In the foreground, a woman in a cream sari with green border and yellow shawl sits with eyes closed, and beside her a woman in a white sari with yellow shawl sits with hands folded. Brass plates with yellow flowers, small lamps, a kalasha-style vessel and bell-like brass items sit on orange cloths before them. Behind, more seated devotees in white and orange, some wearing rudraksha malas, fill the room, with a metal railing and red carpet at right.
