Three young women in saffron-orange saris with maroon borders stand outdoors on a terrace beside a white chain-link railing and potted plants. The woman on the left holds a metal plate and a conch-shaped shell, with a rudraksha mala around her neck. The two on the right play long curved brass horns, one raising hers high. Their foreheads bear small marks, and they wear rudraksha malas. The setting appears to be a ritual horn and conch blowing, such as an announcement or opening of a ceremony.
