A photograph of a large hall where many women in orange and saffron sarees sit cross-legged on the white tiled floor in rows, holding lit oil lamps and performing a puja. Brass plates with flowers, fruit and small lamps sit before them on low wooden trays. Behind them, red curtains hang from windows beneath framed photo panels on the cream walls, and a red-draped table with a microphone stands at the far end. Some women in red and maroon saris also sit among the rows, and a few seated women in white stand at the right edge. The scene suggests a group padapuja or satsang gathering.
