Many wear rudraksha malas and bangles, and several have vertical tilak markings on their foreheads. In front of them, banana leaves hold rice, fruit, and sweets, with paper cups of water beside them. The floor is white tile with orange cloths laid out, and an orange drape hangs in the background. Some women have eyes closed in meditative devotion.
