A large group of young girls in maroon and gold traditional dress sit on a white floor during a ritual. Many have white vibhuti lines on their foreheads and some hold small brass lamps or bells, raising them and offering them with their hands. Brass plates, small bowls and a green plastic container lie on the cloth-covered floor in front. Several adult women in white and cream clothing sit in the background. The girls appear to be performing an aarti with oil lamps during a satsang-style gathering.
