A group of young women and girls sit cross-legged on the floor in orange and maroon saris, many wearing rudraksha malas and white forehead markings. They hold small brass lamps with lit wicks and extend them forward in a ritual offering. In front of them, silver trays and brass dishes hold flowers, sweets, a small brass bell and other puja items on a cloth. The setting appears to be an indoor hall with light walls. Several figures are partially visible at the edges of the frame.
