A seated congregation of devotees in white ritual clothes and orange-red shawls sits in rows on a tiled floor in an ashram hall, facing toward the front. Several men and women wear rudraksha malas and orange lanyards, and some have forehead markings of vibhuti or kumkum. A man in front wears glasses and a dark cap with a salt-and-pepper beard, and a young boy in white sits beside him holding a water bottle. Orange cushions lie along the floor, and a video camera is visible at the upper right. No individual in the scene is clearly identifiable as a person, and none of the seated figures is presented in a distinctive ceremonial position.
