Several young women and girls in saffron-orange sarees with red borders sit cross-legged on the floor in a hall, chanting with eyes partly closed. Their foreheads bear white sandal or vibhuti markings and red bindis, and they wear rudraksha malas. One girl at left holds an orange flower garland and turns her palms together; the girl in the centre has her hands in a mudra. Brass vessels, a small kalasha-style pot, white flowers and pink petals rest on a white low table in front, where incense smoke rises. Adults in orange and red clothing and a crowd of seated devotees fill the background.
