In the foreground a young woman in a blue-green shawl over a red garment holds her palms pressed together in prayer, and beside her a woman in white with a red border sits with hands together. Another woman in a floral kurta sits upright, and a woman in a white sari with a gold border holds a lamp near the lower right. Others wear white, red, pink and orange clothing, and many have bindi or vibhuti marks on their foreheads. The setting appears to be an indoor hall with a blurred crowd behind them.
