Photograph of a crowded ritual hall where several women in orange and rust-brown saris and tunics hold handfuls of yellow flowers or grains. The central smiling woman in a brown sari with a red bindi and a dark rudraksha mala gestures with the offering. A woman at left wears a white forehead mark and a necklace, and a woman at right with long light hair and an orange sari also holds the yellow offering. Behind them, more devotees in orange and saffron stand and move through the room, and framed photographs hang on the wall. Nobody in the scene is clearly identifiable as a person, so no such candidate is marked.
