A bare-chested man in the lower right wears rudraksha malas and a white cloth over his shoulder. In the centre, a man with swept-back grey hair and rudraksha malas, wearing a white garment, stands among the crowd, and a younger man in a black shirt is beside him. A man in saffron-orange clothing stands in the upper centre. Several men hold small green leaves or packets. The scene looks like a satsang gathering with people pressing close together.
