Several seated men in saffron and orange robes gather on a patterned floor mat in a pink-walled room with a barred window. A bald man in orange robes and a gold-beaded necklace leans forward to touch the hands of a person wearing a salmon-pink turban, orange-brown robes, long gold and rudraksha necklaces and gold armlets. Other seated monks in orange, one with a white beard and glasses, and a bald man at lower right with yellow tilak marks watch. A man in a pink shirt stands at upper left. A water bottle sits near the lower left. The scene shows an informal sadhu gathering, with the turbaned person's appearance and ornaments noted but the person's identity not established.
