A large seated gathering of women in white and cream traditional dress fills a hall with a polished floor. Many sit cross-legged in rows, some wearing rudraksha malas, bindis and sacred ash marks on the forehead. Several hold open booklets or prayer books, and small brass oil lamps stand along the front. A woman in the foreground wears a long beaded rudraksha necklace and a white embroidered top. A young woman in a lime-green top reads a booklet beside a woman with a teal backpack. On the large screen at top left, a figure in orange is visible on stage, and bottles of water and handbags lie scattered among the participants.
