A photograph of a seated group of women in white and cream traditional dress with gold-bordered edges, many holding lit oil lamps or flames during a ritual. A woman in front wears a yellow shawl and rudraksha-style beads, and another in the centre wears glasses and a white sari with a gold border. Brass plates and small offering dishes sit on orange mats on the floor, and a child in a pink top appears in the background. The hall has pale walls and a side table with a tall lamp. A few people at the edges are partially visible. The image appears to show a lamp-lighting or aarti-style gathering rather than a named ceremony.

A seated group of devotees in a bright hall performs a meditative practice with eyes closed and hands raised to the face, many women in white and yellow sarees and some in orange, saffron and multicolour saris, with an elderly man in white sitting in the foreground. A woman in an orange shawl and brown top sits cross-legged on a red-striped mat at right, wearing a long beaded necklace. Behind the group a woman in white stands beside a draped table holding a kalasha, a metal vessel and flowers. Many people fill the room, with partial figures visible at the edges.

A row of women sits cross-legged on mats in a bright hall, eyes closed, hands pressed in prayer or resting in lap. They wear white saris with gold borders and white shawls, with white forehead markings, gold earrings, and beaded necklaces. Some hold their hands in anjali mudra. Red and orange mats and a reflective floor are visible. No a person candidate is visible in this frame; the foreground shows only a partial figure in white at the left edge.

A seated group of devotees in an indoor hall performs a meditative gesture, each touching a finger to the forehead between the eyebrows. Men wear white dhotis with yellow or orange borders, rudraksha malas and gold bracelets; several have bare upper bodies and orange shawls. A woman in white with glasses and a red shawl sits at left, and a man at right wears a red-maroon turban. Others in white and cream saris and kurtas sit in the foreground. A black board with white lettering hangs on the back wall above the crowd, and a white pillared stage area lies behind them. No single figure is clearly identifiable as a person.

Behind them, more participants in white and red attire sit with eyes closed, some with hands pressed together. The setting appears to be a hall with soft stage lights. No figure is clearly identifiable as a person in this view.
