A man in a saffron-orange robe with a long dark braid and rudraksha mala laughs heartily while seated on a black cushioned swing-bench under a white-pillared colonnade with frangipani trees. He holds a wooden walking stick and a glass sits on a low table beside him. Four women sit on the ground before him in saris and salwar, one in a brown top and khaki trousers, listening in an informal satsang-style gathering. The scene is set in a white stone courtyard with decorative torch-like wall sconces.
