A group of young saffron-robed sadhus performs music in an indoor hall with pink-tiled floors and wooden doors. In the centre, a bare-chested young man with rudraksha malas and a saffron cloth sits cross-legged on a pink mat, playing a small cymbal. Around him, others play brass horns and drums, and several sit or stand in orange garments with rudraksha necklaces. A dark red-and-black chair sits empty behind them. Metal bowls rest on the mat, and a brown bag and shoes lie to the right. The setting resembles a satsang-style gathering.
