A photograph of a row of women seated cross-legged on a glossy tiled floor during a puja. Each is in front of an orange cloth mat holding brass plates, small brass oil lamps and kalasha-style vessels with flower offerings. Foreground women wear orange saris with maroon borders and a rudraksha-style mala; several middle women wear white saris with red or yellow shawls, and others wear white or yellow garments. Several have palms pressed together in prayer, and one woman in orange reaches toward a plate. Behind them, more seated women in white and yellow are visible against a pale pink wall. The arrangement suggests a padapuja or group puja.
