Two women sit cross-legged on a carpet before microphone stands, palms pressed together in prayer as they recite from an open book. The woman on the left wears an orange saree with a red border and a red tilak; the woman on the right wears a blue saree with an orange-and-blue striped border and bangles. Behind them stands a gold-and-red festooned palanquin-style shrine decorated with garlands of marigolds and white flowers, enshrining a deity murti adorned with a garland and ornaments. An oil lamp stands at the right edge and a large smiling portrait is on the upper right wall. The scene suggests a devotional chanting or puja session.
