Four young girls in saffron-orange robes with pink satin sashes sit cross-legged on the floor during a puja, their foreheads marked with white vibhuti lines and red kumkum. Each wears a rudraksha mala. The girl at the centre has her hands folded in prayer, while the others hold ritual items. In front of them on grey stone-like tables are brass puja plates, small bells, kalasha-style vessels, a small deity murti, yellow flowers and oil lamps. Behind them, more devotees in orange and maroon sit in a large hall with framed pictures on the walls.
