A photo of a ritual row where women in orange and white saris sit behind brass oil lamps (deepams) wrapped in white and yellow flower garlands with red accents. Lit wicks flicker on several lamps, and a leaf or small bowl is held in a woman's hands at right. A striped cloth covers the ground in the foreground. Several women are partly visible, so the count is approximate, and no swami is clearly visible in this frame.
