Three men in saffron-orange robes sit cross-legged on a colourful striped mat in front of an ornate golden shrine. The man on the right has long grey hair and a grey beard and holds a pink-and-white item in his hands. The middle man has a dark beard and a white tilak on his forehead. The man on the left has a grey beard and clasps his hands. Behind them stand a boy in a red shirt and another man in white. Gilded pillars, brass oil lamps and deity murtis adorned with garlands and gold textiles fill the background. The scene looks like a satsang or puja gathering.
