Several men in white kurta and dhoti stand at the back, some raising hands or making victory signs; women wear white salwar, sarees in pink and green, and rudraksha or bead necklaces. Seated in front, a woman in a red saree and gold jewellery sits beside brass puja items, a tray of fruit, a brass bell and a small oil lamp on a pink cloth. A young child in orange holds a banana, and children sit on blue yoga mats. The atmosphere is celebratory.
