A large seated congregation of devotees at an indoor satsang or puja gathering. Foreground and middle rows show many men in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with rudraksha malas and pendant necklaces, several with white and red forehead markings. One man in the centre wears a rust-brown robe with rudraksha beads and raises his hands in anjali. An older man in white stands at left, hands folded. A few devotees in white and blue clothing appear in the background. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable from appearance, so the figures are described by role only.
