A man in an orange kurta with a rudraksha-style necklace sits at centre with eyes closed, next to an older woman in a white sari with a red shawl and a young girl in orange robes with a beaded mala. Behind them a bald man in white with a red-and-white forehead mark and a beaded necklace also prays. Silver plates with flowers and offerings sit in the foreground, and several more people in white and red clothing are seated at the edges. Seven people are visible, all participating in a puja or satsang setting.
