In the centre, several women in saffron-orange saris stand with a woman in a white sari and gold border, a woman in a pink-and-gold sari, and a woman in a beige shawl, some holding papers.

Tall cloth banners with Sanskrit text hang on the left, and a few potted plants sit at the lower right. Several people in the foreground wear gold neck garlands.
