A large hall with pink walls and orange curtains holds a seated congregation of women, most in white, pastel, floral and saffron-orange salwar kameez or saris, sitting cross-legged on mats and striped rugs. At the centre, a woman in a teal top stands near a large brass oil lamp, apparently lighting or tending it. At the right, a gold-trimmed throne-like seat stands empty beside a woman in white standing at the edge of the gathering. A hanging red, white and yellow banner, speakers, and wall fixtures complete the room. Many attendees face the central lamp.
