A photograph of a large seated congregation in a hall, shot with shallow focus so the foreground men are sharp and the rows behind blur. In the front, a man with a short moustache in a light blue striped shirt sits with eyes closed, next to a young man in a blue patterned shirt with a tilak on his forehead and a man in a blue collared shirt with a tilak. Behind them, many devotees wear white kurtas and dhotis, and several men wear saffron/orange turbans. A bare-chested man in a white dhoti sits at right. Pale walls and white-clad attendees fill the background.

Many men wear white shirts or dhotis with saffron or orange shawls, and several have white vibhuti or tilak marks on their foreheads. Some women in saris and salwar kameez sit among them, and a few hold their hands together in prayer while others look toward the front.
