A seated congregation in a hall, mostly men, with many people sitting cross-legged on light blue-striped mats. In the foreground a man in a dark grey t-shirt and white dhoti sits with palms pressed together in namaskar, and beside him a man in a white kurta with red lanyard also holds palms together. A bald man in a white kurta and rudraksha mala sits with eyes closed, and a man in a yellow shirt with red mala sits to the right. Behind them rows of men in white and pastel shirts sit on red chairs, and two small children in front wear a green top. The scene suggests a satsang or meditation session, with people in quiet, eyes-closed attention.
