A large seated group of devotees, mostly women and girls, sits cross-legged on a polished floor during a ritual gathering. Foreground figures wear white garments with orange-saffron shawls and folded hands; one woman on the left wears a teal-blue saree and holds a purple water bottle. Brass plates, small oil lamps and a lit diya sit before them, and a few people in the back rows wear white. Behind them, rows of chairs, folded mats and an orange banner with a portrait are visible. No clearly identifiable a person figure is in view, so the appearance check is not satisfied.
