Many women and girls sit cross-legged on a white floor with red and yellow mats along the edge, most in white saris and white garments, some in orange or lavender clothing.

Decorative striped pillars with patterned panels hang from the tent ceiling, and a red-and-orange drape frames a stage area where a few people in white stand near a small altar.
