Indoor hall at an ashram with a row of seated figures on dark red cushioned thrones with gold-framed armrests, wearing saffron-orange garments and rudraksha-style beaded necklaces; several appear to be lifelike figures or mannequins. Golden umbrellas with beaded fringes hang above them. Behind them hang tall banners with quoted text and a picture of a man with a long grey beard and a red turban. Two young men in white shirts and light trousers stand and crouch in conversation at the front, one gesturing toward the figures. A light pink-and-white tiled floor and a gold-and-white shrine with a deity figure are visible at the right edge.
