Indoor devotional gathering in a hall with cream walls and framed pictures. A central man with long dark hair, a full beard and a tilak on his forehead wears a blue and gold shawl over bare shoulders and a small earring, appearing to move or dance. Around him, men in white dhotis and white shirts, some with white forehead markings, raise their arms and sway. In the foreground, a man in an orange-saffron garment and a man in a light green shirt with a rudraksha-style mala stand close by, one bowing. No a person identity can be confirmed from appearance alone, so the central figure is described by role only.
