Devotees sit close together in a satsang-style gathering, their palms raised in a devotional gesture. In the foreground a woman in a rust-red sari with a gold border wears a long rudraksha mala and a red bindi, her eyes closed as she chants. Beside her a younger woman in a matching red and gold sari with a rudraksha mala raises her hands and sings with her mouth open. Behind them, another woman in glasses and a red sari sits with eyes lowered, and more devotees fill the background. Smoke or incense haze drifts through the frame, and a brass vessel is visible at the lower edge. No a person figure is visible in the frame.
