In the foreground, several men with shaved heads wear white robes and yellow shawls, some with rudraksha malas, sitting cross-legged and gazing forward. Behind them, more white-clad attendees and a few people in western clothing sit on the floor. A man on the right wears headphones. The scene looks like a yoga or satsang session. No visible candidate for a person is clearly identifiable by appearance, so the figures are described by role only.
