A large crowd of devotees in white dhotis and white kurtas sits closely packed during a ritual gathering. Many wear orange satsang lanyards and white sandalwood or vibhuti forehead markings. Several hold small brass oil lamps or plates with lit flames, offering them in prayer, and some have hands pressed together in namaskar. In the centre, a man with long dark hair, round glasses and a red-orange tilak sits holding a lit oil lamp. Foreground figures include a man in white holding a lamp, a woman in a maroon sari with a white forehead mark, and a child at the lower edge. The setting appears to be an indoor hall.
