A large seated audience of women fills a hall, most with palms pressed together in anjali at chest level and eyes closed. Many wear white or cream sarees with coloured borders, while others wear pink, blue, red and orange garments. Several have spectacles, gold bangles and necklaces, and a few have hands raised above their heads. The room has peach-coloured walls and a blue banner high on the wall. The photograph is taken from the front, so the people in the foreground appear largest and the back rows recede into the crowd. No single presenter is clearly visible in the frame.
