Seated devotees in saffron-orange dhotis and rudraksha malas perform group chanting at a satsang. Several men sit cross-legged on a mat; the foreground man on the left is bald with a vertical tilak and white horizontal stripes across his chest, the centre man holds a microphone and a dark frame drum, and the man at right, shaved-headed with white forehead markings, smiles. Behind them, more saffron-clad participants with white sandalwood marks on their foreheads sit in rows before a red curtain. Banana leaves in front hold offerings of fruit, flowers and small cups. No a person candidate with distinctive presentation cues is clearly identifiable.
