Women in rust-orange saris with gold borders sit cross-legged on the floor of a hall, performing a ritual over banana leaves. The woman on the left wears a red blouse, a black beaded mala and a red kumkum mark, and she is pinching or sprinkling material from a leaf with her right hand. The woman on the right, in a maroon blouse and mala, lifts an orange sweet or offering. Small white paper cups, scattered grains and sweets, and a mobile phone lie on the leaves. Several other seated women in matching orange saris and vibhuti marks are visible behind them.
