A photograph of a seated group of women and girls at an indoor gathering on a woven mat floor. In the foreground a young girl in a maroon silk dress with gold trim sits cross-legged before a microphone on a stand, hands folded. Around her, rows of women and girls in deep maroon and red silk saris and dresses with gold borders sit with hands clasped or resting in laps; some wear gold bangles, necklaces and pendants. Behind them, older people in white garments sit in the background, and at the right edge a blue and red draped table or dais is partly visible with gold lettering on its cloth.
