A photograph of a seated devotional gathering in a hall with a concrete floor and a metal railing. Women in white and cream traditional dress with gold borders and orange or yellow shawls sit cross-legged on woven mats, hands pressed together in anjali mudra with eyes closed in prayer. Several wear gold bangles and bracelets, and one holds a steel water bottle beside her. Many more devotees sit in rows behind them. No figure in the scene is clearly identifiable as a person, and the foreground is filled with devotees rather than a presiding figure.
