Outdoor satsang with devotees seated in meditation on the ground. In the centre a bearded man with long hair tied back wears a white kurta, an orange shawl, and a rudraksha mala, with hands folded and eyes closed; appearance is not a confident match to a person, so he is described by role only. Around him women in orange shawls and white or grey clothes sit with eyes closed, some with bindis and malas. A tree trunk and a white wall stand behind, and a large printed banner on the right shows a woman in red with mala beads and a mantra text.
