A large group of seated men fills a white-canopied tent with pink-trimmed edges and a ceiling fan overhead. Most are bare-chested, wearing white dhotis and rudraksha malas, many with shaved heads and white or sandalwood markings. They sit in rows on a white cloth-covered floor, facing forward toward an unseen focal point, with white curtains along the back. Some appear to be pressing palms together in prayer. No individual can be clearly identified as the a person from appearance, so the figures are described by role as devotees and disciples.
