A photograph of a large seated gathering of devotees in white clothing, many with palms pressed together in anjali mudra and eyes closed or gazing upward. In the foreground a woman in a light blue shawl and a woman in a red scarf pray, with a wristwatch visible. Behind them rows of women and a few men in white, one man wearing a red shawl, appear absorbed in meditation or satsang. No individual is clearly identifiable as a person in this frame, so no depiction of him is asserted.

A woman at left has a tilak on her forehead and a red patterned shawl. The setting appears to be a mass sitting gathering.
