Several young women and girls in orange saffron sarees sit cross-legged on the floor during a puja, several with white horizontal forehead marks and rudraksha malas. In the foreground, the girl at center holds a small brass cup and a kalasha-like brass vessel, while others hold small brass bells and oil lamps on a tray. Rose petals and flowers are scattered on the table, and brass vessels with offerings sit in front. Behind them, seated devotees in maroon and white clothing and standing people watch the ritual in a hall. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable from appearance, so no probable identification is made.
