A seated group at a meditation or ritual gathering. In the centre, a man in a white kurta and white dhoti wears rectangular glasses and white tilak markings on his forehead and face. He sits among children and young people wearing orange cloth, bare-chested boys with white ash markings on their backs, and some with dark blindfolds. A woman in the foreground wears a gold stud earring and a dark plait. Coloured mats and a yellow pillar appear in the background. The scene resembles a group sadhana session. The man in white has no clear appearance-based cues for a person, so identity remains uncertain.
