A crowded indoor scene in a narrow corridor-like room with pink and peach walls. Seated devotees fill the foreground and middle, many in white clothing: a man in a pale blue shirt in the lower left, a woman in white with an orange scarf draped over her shoulders, a woman in a bright green sari, and a man in white at the centre. Several women in colourful saris sit further back, and a standing figure in a saffron-brown robe and white clothing stands in the open doorway at the upper left. A framed painted portrait of a bearded man in orange-and-saffron robes hangs on the wall at the top. The atmosphere appears to be a seated gathering or satsang.
