Several women sit cross-legged on a floor in rows, palms pressed together in anjali mudra with eyes closed, in a seated prayer or Maheshwara Puja-style ritual. They wear rust-red and orange saris with gold borders and rudraksha malas, and some have white vibhuti lines on their foreheads. In front of them are green banana-leaf plates holding cooked rice, sweets and vegetables, with white paper cups placed along the leaves. Behind them, a man in white and another person stand near a white door and red curtain in an indoor hall.
