A long row of women in orange and rust-coloured saffron sarees sits cross-legged on the floor before rows of banana-leaf plates laden with food and steel tumblers, as if for a communal meal. Many wear rudraksha malas and long braids or buns, some with dangling gold earrings. A cameraman with a video camera on a tripod stands at the back by a wall, and a woman in orange sits in the far left background near a gold-patterned wall.
