A bare-chested man with a dark vertical tilak on his forehead sits in the foreground of a seated congregation, wearing a rudraksha mala around his neck and resting his arms on his knees. Behind and around him, many men in white dhotis sit in rows on a pale floor, some bare-chested with sandalwood or ash markings, indicating a satsang or puja gathering. A blurred figure in the lower foreground is out of focus.
