A photograph of a crowded seated gathering of women in orange-red saris. In the foreground a young woman with hair in a dark bun and a white vertical mark on her forehead holds a small clear plastic bottle to her eye, eyes closed, in a moment of devotional practice. Others around her, also in orange, sit with hands raised or near their faces. No identifiable central figure is visible; the scene is a dense satsang-style assembly.
