A large seated gathering of women in white and cream traditional dress with gold-bordered saris, sitting cross-legged on red mats in a hall. The women in the foreground wear red coral-bead malas, black beaded necklaces and white sacred ash marks on their foreheads. The woman at centre has her eyes closed and hands folded in her lap, appearing to meditate, while others look forward with focused expressions. Notebooks, a bag and a small pouch lie on the mats in front of them. Many more people are seated in rows behind, with a blurred background of pillars and lights.
