A dense seated crowd at a temple-style satsang or festival gathering, mostly men in white and cream clothing with bare or sacred-thread upper bodies and rudraksha malas. In the centre, a young man with shoulder-length swept hair and a vertical white tilak, wearing white garments with an orange-red shawl, sits with palms pressed together in namaskar. Beside him a man with long wavy hair and gold chain pendant sits with eyes closed, and older devotees and younger men in glasses fill the rows around them. No identifiable a person is visible in the frame, so no a person candidate is recorded. Many people are visible, well over twenty.
