Devotees in white ritual clothes stand with palms pressed together in namaskar at a hall event. Two tall golden ceremonial staffs with round medallion tops frame the foreground, one showing a relief of a lion-faced figure. Several men wear white dhotis or white shirts with red shawls and orange lanyards; a woman on the left wears a white sari with a red shawl. A green backdrop and a large grey sculpture of raised arms appear behind the crowd. A man in the centre wears white with a red shawl and round glasses, hands folded. The setting resembles a puja or satsang gathering with participants standing in devotion.
