A large seated crowd of men in a hall sits with palms pressed together in anjali mudra, a Hindu gesture of greeting and reverence. Most wear white or light shirts and trousers, with some in striped or coloured tops, a red t-shirt in the foreground, and wrist threads and beaded malas. Many have eyes closed or lowered. Behind them, a few standing figures in white also join hands near a gold-toned altar area with orange drapery on the left. The atmosphere suggests satsang or a devotional talk. No individual is clearly identifiable as a specific guru in the visible frame.
