Three women sit outdoors beside a chain-link fence and green foliage, arranging small clay oil lamps (diyas) in rows on a concrete ledge with a red-painted base. The woman on the left wears a white and yellow-bordered sari and has dreadlocked hair bound up; the seated woman in the middle wears a rust-orange top and skirt with a red-brown rudraksha-style bead necklace; the woman on the right wears an orange sari with a matching orange blouse, a vermilion-style forehead mark and a silver pendant, holding a stainless steel tray. All three are smiling. Oil lamps are visible, not a fire ritual.
