A large crowd of young women and girls seated closely together in a hall, dressed in saffron-orange garments with orange and white shawls, many with white and red vibhuti or tilak marks on their foreheads. Several smile broadly and make peace signs or raised-hand gestures toward the camera. Gold necklaces, earrings, bangles and rudraksha or bead malas adorn many of them. A bald man in orange clothing appears in the upper background among the crowd.
