Six women seated cross-legged on a red draped stage perform devotional singing before an ornate gold-carved wall lit with rows of small oil lamps. Four singers in deep maroon and rust saris with rudraksha malas front the frame, several at microphones on stands with paper song sheets on low wooden book stands; one holds a red tambourine. Two women in saffron-orange saris sit behind them, one with a long rudraksha mala. The setting suggests a nithya kirtan session. No a person candidate is visible.
