Several have palms pressed together in anjali or eyes closed in prayer. A woman in the centre with short grey hair speaks or sings, while a young boy in white sits among them. A tripod and potted plants appear at the upper edge. No one in the frame is identifiable as a person; the scene shows devotees only.
