A group of women and girls in saffron-orange robes sit cross-legged on a hall floor, many wearing rudraksha malas around their necks and white tilak marks on their foreheads. In the foreground a young woman with her hair tied back chants with eyes half-closed, while others sit with hands folded or holding small items. Before them on white marble-top platforms are brass plates, bowls, small brass lamps and a conch-shaped vessel with flower offerings. Behind them, older men and women in orange and white sit in rows, and a few seated figures wear dark maroon. A white curtain and red drapery frame the stage at the back.
