A seated bald man in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged on a mat at the front right, facing a small arrangement of white flowers and pink petals on a low table, with a brass vessel nearby. Behind him, a long row of women and children in colourful saris and salwar kameez sit on the ground under a pale wall, with several men in white dhotis and shirts standing or seated in the back row. A green-leaved plant sits at left beside a seated figure in white. The scene suggests a satsang or puja gathering outdoors in a courtyard.
