Many women fill the rows: a woman at left in a white and grey patterned sari with red-rimmed glasses holds a red pen, a woman in a teal blouse and cream sari wears a bindi and rudraksha-style beaded mala, a young woman in a cream embroidered top wears a dark mala, and a woman in a yellow shawl sits in the foreground.
