Two young men in orange-saffron dhotis stand at the front of a covered pavilion, each wearing long garlands of yellow, white and red flowers. The taller figure on the left has an orange turban and white-and-red tilak marks; the figure on the right wears a green and gold ornate headpiece and a matching garland. Seated devotees in front wear flower garlands, some in orange and red, while lanterns hang from the ceiling and a fire with smoke rises at the lower right beside a tray of offerings. Behind them a decorated arch and a gold-framed seat are visible under string lights. The scene suggests a ritual or satsang.

A hand in the lower right pours an offering from a ladle into the fire, and oil lamps burn on the altar.
