Photo of a seated devotional gathering viewed from the side. In the foreground a woman with short reddish-brown hair and a pale pink shawl sits with her face turned away. Beside her a woman in a dark red sweater holds a small leaf-shaped offering or plate at chest level and looks ahead. Behind them a woman with long dreadlocks wears a bright blue sleeveless top and holds a leaf plate up, with gold bangles on her wrist. Further back, others in yellow, green and white clothing hold similar leaves or plates, and a red backdrop hangs at the upper left. The scene suggests a ritual offering at a festival hall, with participants holding leaf plates as the lamp rite proceeds.
