The central woman wears a purple sari with an orange blouse and a pendant necklace, and holds her hands together in a devotional gesture.

On the right, a woman in a pink patterned top and glasses sits with hands raised, and another in a yellow and maroon sari sits at the edge. Behind them, more seated women in pink, blue and green garments. The setting suggests a group puja or satsang session.
