A photograph of a row of young women and girls seated on the floor in a hall, many in saffron-orange saris and some in maroon. Several wear rudraksha malas, and a few have white vibhuti marks on their foreheads. Each is seated before a small low wooden stand holding brass puja vessels, lamps and small containers, with red cloth laid out. The seated women have their hands joined or resting on their laps, eyes closed or lowered in meditation or chanting. A woman in an orange sari at the right edge stands out for her rudraksha necklaces. No a person candidate is visible.

Several women and girls sit closely together on the floor in orange and saffron saris with yellow borders, many with white forehead markings and rudraksha malas. Some hold small brass oil lamps or incense sticks, and a small brass bell and lamp sit on a low table in the foreground. Smoke from incense rises in the center. The setting appears to be a hall with red wall panels. A puja-style ritual is taking place, though no a person is visibly present in the frame.

A photograph of a row of young women seated on the floor in orange saffron saris with maroon borders, wearing rudraksha malas and white vibhuti stripes across their foreheads. Several hold small brass oil lamps (aarti/puja lamps) with lit flames, and before them on silver-covered floor tables are brass vessels, plates of flowers, sweets and offerings. The room has white walls and a red curtain in the background. No a person candidate is clearly visible, so the a person field is none.
