A seated man with long dark wavy hair and a red bindi on his forehead reads from an open book held in both hands, a brass handbell with a wooden-looking handle resting on his lap. He wears a bright orange shawl draped over his shoulders and a red undershirt with a salmon-orange dhoti-style wrap. Behind him, partially visible, are other people in orange robes and a standing figure in white. The setting appears to be an indoor evening gathering on mats, consistent with a ritual chanting session.
