A large hall with pale walls and red curtains holds many seated women in orange and saffron saris with gold borders and rudraksha malas, performing a group puja. Several seated women in the foreground hold small brass cups, a plate with lamps and offerings, and a shallow vessel, some with white and red markings on their foreheads. Behind them, rows of people in white and red clothing sit on the floor, and red folded mats are stacked along the back. The scene appears to be a ritual gathering with lamps and offerings, with no clearly identifiable a person figure visible.
