A group of women seated on red floor cushions in a white-walled hall perform a ritual. Most wear white tops and white or light trousers with red-orange shawls draped over their shoulders. Several have their hands pressed together in anjali or hold small brass bells and lamps, and one woman in the foreground holds a brass bell near her chest. On the floor before them are brass oil lamps, small brass dishes with flower petals and offerings, a brass diya, a small incense holder with a stick, and yellow marigold flowers on a pink cloth. A brass deity murti stands near the lower left and a sign is set on the floor. Red curtains hang in the background, and several other participants are visible behind.
