A large outdoor gathering of devotees seated in rows on red chairs and sitting on the ground, many with eyes closed and hands folded in meditation. Many wear rudraksha malas and red-orange shawls over white, grey, dark and blue clothing; one man in front wears a purple turban and a grey-bearded face, another wears a white shawl. Some have white vibhuti marks on their foreheads. A crowd stands in the background under a hazy morning sky, with a tractor-like vehicle visible at the far right. The scene reflects satsang or meditation before the Aushadha preparation.
