A photograph of a group of young girls seated closely together in orange and maroon saris, many wearing rudraksha malas and white vibhuti marks on their foreheads. In the foreground a girl in an orange sari and orange blouse holds a small brass object, possibly a bell or lamp, raised near her chest while looking forward. Beside her another girl in orange sari and bangles holds a similar object. Smoke or incense drifts through the frame. Small oil lamps glow at the lower left and right, and behind them rows of other girls in maroon and orange dress sit in devotional posture during what appears to be a puja or satsang setting.
