A row of women sits on the floor in prayer posture with palms pressed together, eyes closed, before a long table covered with white cloth. On the table are banana-leaf plates holding rice, sweets and curries, with small steel cups, white bowls and spoons. Most women wear white cotton saris edged in gold, with orange shawls or orange-and-white dress; the foremost woman in front wears a yellow shawl with a white sari and red-and-gold bangles. Some have dark hair in buns or loose curls. The setting appears to be an indoor hall with a dark backdrop and white table linen.
