In the foreground, young women in saffron-orange saris and rudraksha malas sit with hands folded in namaskar, several with white vibhuti or kumkum marks on their foreheads. Behind them, rows of women and girls in maroon and red saris, and others in white or blue, sit on mats, many with palms joined. A long white and red carpet runs along the right edge, with metal stands and large plastic containers at the sides. The scene is a plain, well-lit hall with a gilded altar area visible at the back.
