A seated devotional gathering in a hall with many people sitting on the floor with palms pressed together in anjali. In the foreground a bare-chested young man with long dreadlocks, a red-brown dhoti and a rudraksha mala sits with eyes closed in prayer, and beside him a man in a white kurta and white dhoti wears a rudraksha mala and a tilak on his forehead, also in prayer. A young girl at the left edge wears a beaded necklace and a white forehead mark. Behind them, rows of men wear orange and saffron cloths, white vibhuti marks and rudraksha malas. No throne, deity or a person candidate is clearly identifiable by the listed cues, so the a person value is none.
