A seated group of saffron-robed swamis and devotees sits on the floor of a plain room with pale green walls and a white-framed window. Most wear marigold garlands with red accents. In the centre, a bald man in an orange robe holds a string of beads and sits cross-legged on a red mat, while a long-haired figure in orange with a rudraksha mala sits beside him. On the right, an older man wearing an orange turban and orange robe with a white garland sits with hands resting in his lap; his appearance does not clearly match the page's a person claim, so the identity is uncertain. Water bottles and small glasses sit on green leaves in front of them.
