Many men in plain white dhoti and shirt clothing sit cross-legged on mats and stand along the back, several wearing rudraksha-style neck beads and lanyard badges. A standing man in a white shirt and white dhoti, with a beard and a small white card in his hand, faces the seated group at left. Seated participants write or hold papers, some with hands folded in namaste. A white tent-like hall with wooden posts frames the scene.
