In the foreground a bald man in white with a red shawl and beaded mala sits upright, and a woman with a shawl and mala sits at the lower left. Behind them rows of devotees and women in white and orange fill the space, with display stands and hanging lamps along the back wall. The setting suggests a satsang gathering.
