A seated group of devotees in an indoor hall, many in white dhotis and red-orange shawls printed with script, with rudraksha malas. Several people hold small objects or cups to their eyes in a practice of eye-cleansing or eye-deeksha. A man in the centre wears a red shawl and rudraksha mala and holds a small silver-toned cup to his right eye. Others on both sides do the same, with some women in white and red at the left edge. The scene resembles a satsang or deeksha gathering. The page indicates a person attended this event, but no figure in the frame shows distinctive presentation cues, so no one is identified as a person.
