A dense seated crowd of devotees fills the hall. In the foreground three men sit cross-legged in white dhotis with saffron-gold borders, wearing rudraksha malas and gold necklaces; the man at centre has a red-brown rudraksha mala and a gold pendant, the one at left wears gold chains and spectacles, and the one at right wears a dark rudraksha garland and gold chain. Behind them many more people in white and saffron-orange shawls sit closely packed, some with eyes closed in meditation. No single figure with distinctive a person cues is clearly identifiable, so the identity is left unsure.
