Close-up photograph of a woman's hands cupped together in a prayer-like gesture, holding a small string of multicoloured beads. She wears a dark rudraksha mala of brown seed beads on her wrist and forearm, with dark hair falling beside her face. A white open book or papers lie blurred in the foreground, and warm orange and red tones fill the soft background of an ashram-style gathering.
