A group of women devotees sits cross-legged on mats in a bright hall, performing a chanted prayer with palms raised and open. In the foreground, a woman with grey-streaked hair and a red bindi wears a maroon sari with a gold border and a dark rudraksha mala, eyes closed. Beside her, a woman in a maroon sari with gold border and a mala holds her hands in a similar gesture. Behind them, rows of women in orange and saffron saris and garments, some with beaded malas and tilak, sit on green leaf-covered mats. Small paper cups and a book rest on the floor, and a few brass-coloured items appear near the back.
