Seated women in rust-red and saffron-orange sarees sit in rows on a white tiled floor, many with palms pressed together in namaste and eyes closed. Several wear rudraksha malas and white forehead markings. Before them on banana leaves are plates of rice, curries, fried snacks and papadums, with small paper cups of tea. Some women read from an open book. A seated figure in orange at the back has a shaved head. No single figure is clearly identifiable as a person.
