Two men sit at microphone stands in front of a hanging beaded curtain strung with orange and red beads. The man on the left, in white dhoti and a gold-bordered white shawl, wears a turban with white markings, multiple gold necklaces and bangles, and white horizontal stripes on his upper arms, with hands pressed together in namaste as he chants. Beside him, a man in a red-orange robe with gold-and-black embroidered headpiece and layered gold necklaces also sits at a microphone, facing forward. A brass lamp top and a gold-edged lectern are visible at the bottom. The scene suggests a satsang or chanting session.
