A woman in saffron-orange robes with a long rudraksha mala and a small pendant sits cross-legged, holding a brass lamp and a small brass bowl during a ritual. She has white vibhuti marks on her forehead and a red kumkum dot. Around her, girls in maroon tops with gold-trimmed collars sit on mats, several with white ash marks on their foreheads, some holding small oil lamps and watching attentively. The setting is a floor-level group ritual with a blue-and-white patterned mat and a pink cloth at lower left.
