A seated group of devotees meditates outdoors on orange mats in warm sunlight, many dressed in white kurta-style clothing. In the foreground a man with shoulder-length hair and a goatee, wearing a cream hooded zip sweatshirt and a red-beaded mala, sits with eyes closed. Behind him a man in a white shirt and beige trousers sits with hands on his knees, and a man in a yellow-and-white checked shirt sits nearby. At the top left, others are seated on steps, some in white and one in a navy jacket. A red-clad figure appears at right. The scene suggests a satsang or group meditation.

Outdoor group meditation session in a paved courtyard in front of an orange wall with white and red striped border and potted plants. In the foreground, several men sit cross-legged on mats in white kurta-style clothing; two men at left have long dark hair, moustaches and rudraksha malas, one wearing a white shawl over white dhoti. A man in a pink shirt and tan trousers sits in the centre, a younger man in a khaki shirt sits beside a boy in a striped shirt, and an older bearded man in white sits at right. Behind them, many other seated and standing participants in white and casual clothes meditate or observe, and a man in a grey hoodie stands at the back. The scene is a plain, calm daytime gathering. The two long-haired men with malas are candidates for the central guru figure, but their appearance alone is not conclusive.
