A satsang setting with devotees seated on orange cloth mats. In the foreground, a shaved-headed man in white dhoti and shawl with gold borders and a white and red flower garland sits on the right beside a woman in a red sari with green border and white jasmine garland. Behind them, a man in grey shirt and grey trousers and a woman in maroon sari sit with white garlands, and an audience sits in the background in pastel saris and white clothing. Brass plates with yellow flowers, rice and offerings lie in front.
