Four young boys seated closely together on a floor during a chanting session, their eyes closed and mouths open as they sing. They wear red and orange saffron-coloured robes with white vibhuti horizontal lines on their foreheads, and several wear rudraksha mala necklaces of dark beads. Their hands rest on their laps and one boy wears small earrings and glasses. Behind them, a red curtain, a sofa and a few seated adults in the background suggest an indoor satsang. Oil lamps are visible at the lower right.
