A seated crowd of men in a hall, most bare-chested with white vibhuti or sandal markings on their chests, arms and foreheads, wearing white dhotis and rudraksha or bead malas. Several wear lanyard badges. In the foreground a man with a shaved head and red-marked forehead sits cross-legged, and a man in a white shawl with a gold-bordered cloth and badge sits centre. Behind them rows of seated devotees fill the room, with some men in white and orange clothing near the back, and a framed picture on the wall. The scene suggests a satsang or discourse.
