A young woman in an orange sari with a dark maroon border sits at the front of a seated group and holds cupped hands out toward the camera. Her hands cradle white and pink flowers with two lit oil lamps and small flames. She wears a long rudraksha mala, a white vertical forehead mark with a red dot, a flower in her hair and drop earrings. Behind her, several people in orange and saffron robes sit in a blurred hall, with brass plates and offerings on the floor. The scene looks like a lamp-lighting or aarti offering.
