A photograph of a seated woman with dark hair pulled back, a red bindi and a nose stud, wearing a black top under a white kurta printed with red floral motifs and maroon trousers. She sits cross-legged on a striped mat, looking down while another person's hands, one wearing a white beaded bracelet, hold her palm and a small blue object. Behind her, seated devotees in orange, red and white attire fill a hall with white walls and red banners; an older woman in red with a bindi sits nearby. The scene appears to be a meditative or ritual sitting in an ashram-style hall.
