A dense crowd of devotees seated with eyes closed in meditation or prayer, many with palms pressed together in anjali mudra. Many wear white, pastel and bright kurtas and salwar, saris and dupattas in pink, green, blue and yellow; several have vibhuti or kumkum marks on their foreheads. A bald man in a white shirt in the lower centre holds his hands together in prayer. The scene appears to be a large group sitting session, with no visible throne, a person, or readable signage in the frame.

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.

Behind them rows of women and a few men in white, one man wearing a red shawl, appear absorbed in meditation or satsang.
