Two young women in orange-saffron saris with yellow borders sit close together in the foreground, each with a white vertical forehead mark and a red bindi. The woman on the left holds a small brass vessel and looks toward the other, who holds a brass bowl or lamp and rudraksha beads around her neck with a long wavy-haired braid. Behind them, several seated women in matching orange robes and beaded necklaces hold brass items during what appears to be a group ritual on a mat-covered floor with small brass lamps and white flower offerings.
