A photograph of a ritual or satsang setting. In the foreground, a man with long dreadlocked hair gathered at the back and tied with orange threads wears a cream-yellow garment and layered rudraksha malas. He has an earring and holds his hands up in a gesture, with a visible ring and bangles. Behind him, another man in a white kurta with a red-orange shawl and beaded malas stands partly out of focus. A dark red curtain and framed picture hang on the wall behind them, and another person's head is visible at the left edge.
