A group of about ten men in white shirts and white dhotis stand facing a person at right who wears a long orange sari-style garment and has long dark hair; this figure is facing the men and gesturing with an open hand. Several men wear spectacles, and one in a light blue shirt stands at left. The setting appears to be an outdoor open-air gathering.
