A photograph of a large hall where many women sit cross-legged on the floor in rows, most in white or cream saris with gold borders and others in orange or deep maroon clothing. Each woman holds a small brass lamp or ritual vessel with a lit flame, and brass plates with offerings sit on mats and cloths in front of them. A wooden stage and a decorated canopy with hanging orange and blue banners appear in the background. Among the seated women, one in a white sari wears a gold chain and another in orange wears a red-orange shawl. A small a person candidate is not clearly visible, so the identity cannot be determined from appearance. Approximately 60 women are visible.2013-01-03A photograph of a large group of women seated on the floor of a bright hall performing a lamp ritual.
