A group of young women and girls seated on the floor in saffron-orange robes, many wearing rudraksha mala necklaces, sit behind a long white-covered table set with brass oil lamps (diyas), small brass bowls, a brass kalasha-style vessel, flower petals and white cloth. A girl at centre wears a forehead tilak and looks forward with focus, while others sit with hands folded or resting on laps. Several of the women wear red and orange sashes, and a woman in glasses with a saffron garment sits at the upper right. The setting appears to be a hall with white walls. Count of physical people visible is about ten.

Several wear rudraksha malas, and a few have white vibhuti marks on their foreheads.
