Four shaved-headed men in saffron-orange robes with gold borders sit cross-legged on a mat in a hall, eyes closed, hands folded in prayer. Front-left and right men wear rudraksha malas; the centre man has a red bindi and a long rudraksha mala with a pendant, and wears a white dhoti-like wrap behind. Behind them, a row of younger boys in dark clothes sit watching and some write in notebooks. Oil lamps, a small brass bowl and a red-covered book are placed on the floor in front. Hanging colourful tassels decorate the upper wall. The setting suggests a satsang or meditation session.
