Four men sit on a red carpet before a deep maroon curtain at what appears to be a satsang or sitting. Three shaved-headed men on the left wear saffron-orange dhotis with gold-bordered sashes, rudraksha malas and white vertical tilak marks. The second man presses his palms together in greeting, and the third rests his cheek on his hand. On the far right, a smiling young man in white kurta and white dhoti, with a red-and-white mala, sits on an ornate brass-and-gold stool, hands folded, while a white wall-mounted air conditioner and two seated figures in white appear in the background.
