A group of devotees stands in a large hall with white tiled floor and pink walls lined with framed photographs, arms raised with palms open in an ecstatic group practice. Many wear white dhotis, some with gold-bordered cloth and rudraksha malas, some bare-chested. A man in a long black robe stands at left with arms raised and eyes closed. A bearded man in a white kurta with a rudraksha mala and a long-haired man with dreadlocks in bare chest stand centre and right. A shaved, older man in a white dhoti stands far right, and a bare-chested man in an orange dhoti stands in the foreground. Yoga mats are visible on the floor behind them.

Several people wear white dhotis and sit cross-legged on orange mats in the background. Strings of colourful festival banners hang from the high ceiling, and framed portraits line the white walls. The scene suggests a ritual procession during a festival programme.

A large white hall with hanging decorative lanterns and framed pictures on the walls shows a group of people in motion. In the centre, a bearded man with a bare chest wears a white dhoti with gold border and rudraksha beads, his face marked with red tilak. Around him, several young people wear saffron-orange cloth draped over the body, with rudraksha malas, red forehead marks and long dark hair, some smiling and gesturing. Others in white dhotis sit or stand in the background, and a saffron cloth covers the floor. Visible people number about ten.
