A seated teacher in orange-brown robes with a rudraksha mala and a bare upper torso sits at the left, holding a golden trident-like ritual staff, with a whiteboard covered in handwritten Tamil-style notes behind him. Surrounding him, a group of devotees sit close together, including women in orange and colourful saris and people in white kurtas and light blue clothing. A large paper chart with a grid of handwritten syllables is held up in the foreground, and small brass and gold deity figurines and a kalasha sit on a wooden table. A woman in a light blue kurta watches and smiles, and a man in white leans forward among the group.
