A dense crowd of men seated closely on the ground at an outdoor satsang gathering, many appearing to be sadhus and pilgrims. Foreground figures wear orange and saffron shawls, white and beige turbans, knit caps and a red woolen hat; one man has tilak markings on his forehead and beads around his neck. Several men press their palms together in devotion while listening attentively. Behind them other devotees wear red, grey and maroon clothing, and a man in a dark cap has USA lettering. Some visible tents and white cloth sit in the background. No individual is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance cues, so the a person field is unsure.
