Photograph of a seated congregation under a white tent with red and white draped fabric at the top edge. In the foreground, a bare-chested, shaved-headed man in a white dhoti and a rudraksha-style necklace sits cross-legged with hands joined, smiling. Beside him, a bearded man in a white dhoti and orange cloth smiles, and a young man in a white dhoti with a red-and-gold cloth wears beaded necklaces and raises hands in gesture. Several other men sit in the background, many bare-chested with malas or white shirts, some smiling. The mood is a sit-in discourse or satsang. No distinctive a person cues are visible on any individual, so no identification is made.
