A dimly lit night photograph of several women in white clothes with orange shawls standing in a temple-like hall. The woman on the left wears glasses, a red bindi and a white shawl with a gold border, holding a tray with white cloth and offerings. The central woman in glasses and an orange shawl holds a tray of bananas with a red flower. The woman on the right in an orange shawl and white garments holds a folded white cloth and gestures toward the tray. Behind them, other women in white stand watching, some with garlands or lanyards. Small lights are visible on the wall and ceiling. The setting suggests an aarti or puja offering during a procession, though no a person is visible in the frame.
