A photograph of a seated, shaved-headed man in saffron-orange draped robes and a long rudraksha mala, with rudraksha bracelets and a copper pendant, sitting cross-legged with hands in a meditative mudra on a colourful striped mat during a satsang-style gathering. Behind him, many men in white kurtas sit on the floor with tilak marks, some wearing name badges. A copper water vessel stands at the left edge and a bag lies nearby. The photographer's lighting is bright, and pale walls and a framed painting appear in the background.
