A row of women seated on the ground on a brick floor, lit by brass oil lamps (deepa) set on small plates with white flower garlands, coconut halves and coloured offering containers. Most wear orange or rust-red garments with dark rudraksha malas; several wear saris in green, blue and maroon. One woman in the foreground in an orange robe and beaded mala holds a brass lamp and tends the lit wicks, while others sit with hands joined or lamps before them. Only partial views of many seated women are visible, with the photo cropped at the edges. The scene shows a ceremonial lamp offering in an outdoor hall.
