Front rows are mostly girls and young women in saffron-orange dresses with rudraksha malas, many smiling with palms pressed together in namaste or raised in applause. Behind them, rows of adults wear white, red and orange saris and kurtas with garlands and beaded necklaces, some with white tilak markings on their foreheads. Red and white walls and banners frame the upper background. The scene suggests a satsang or evening programme.
