A row of young women and girls in saffron-orange robes with pink borders sit cross-legged on a long white table behind rows of silver vessels. Each holds a tall brass cone-shaped funnel, pouring or measuring liquid into the silver pots and bowls, with small brass oil lamps and brass cups among the items. Several wear white forehead markings, rudraksha malas and small earrings. Red curtains hang behind them, and the scene appears to be a ritual preparation such as abhishekam offerings. Some women in the back wear the same robes and watch the work.
