A large outdoor group sits on the ground under a broad spreading tree at a shaded garden setting. Most attendees wear white clothing with red or maroon shawls and orange-and-white lanyards, and many have their palms pressed together in namaskar. Seated in front on woven mats and a red patterned rug, a bald man in white with an orange-trimmed garment is in the centre-front, flanked by women in white and red shawls. A cameraman in white stands at the top right beside a tripod-mounted camera. The gathering appears to be a seated satsang or meditation session, and the image is an unmarked photo of many people, with no legible printed names on the scene itself.
