A photograph of a devotional gathering in a plain room with cream walls. An older woman with grey hair, wearing a dark blue floral print top with an orange and rudraksha mala, stands with palms pressed together in namaskar and eyes closed. A younger woman in an orange garment and a woman in a white sari with gold border lean in, one hand pressed to the older woman's forehead in a blessing. Other attendees in white and orange clothing, one holding up a small camera, surround them. Some people are visible only partially in the foreground.
