Indoor gathering of saffron-clad sannyasis and devotees seated on white cushioned couches and a floor of colourful striped rugs. A bald elderly sadhu in orange robes sits centre, another in orange with a long grey beard sits beside him, and a woman in orange with a sash sits near a white table holding a small clay vessel with pink flowers. A man in a yellow garment sits left, and a long-haired person in orange with rudraksha beads sits right. Standing behind, devotees in white and orange shawls look on under hanging red and orange draperies. A reclining figure in orange lies in the lower right foreground. No clear appearance-based candidate for the named guru is established, so this is a role-based description.
