Two women in the centre wear a maroon sari with floral embroidery and a bright pink sari, both with gold jewellery, bangles and hands folded in prayer. Behind them, many men in white shirts and women in saris, some with a bindi and some with a shaved head, fill the frame, all facing forward with serious expressions.
