A large seated congregation with palms pressed together in namaskar, many with eyes closed, during a devotional ceremony. Most wear white or cream clothes with gold borders and saffron-orange robes, with vermilion and white tilak marks on their foreheads and rudraksha malas around their necks. In the foreground a woman in an orange robe and mala sits with hands folded, a woman in a white and gold sari with a flower in her hair presses her palms together, and a woman in white with glasses sits at right. Brass ritual objects and offering plates lie in front of the rows, and a figure in orange stands in the background near a white-draped altar area.
