A woman in a white top and white trousers sits at right with her arms folded; a woman in a purple-blue sari with a beaded necklace sits centre-back; a woman in a white shawl sits at left-centre; a woman in a white t-shirt with glasses sits front-centre. Water bottles, including one labelled Bisleri, sit among them. A man in a striped shirt is seated at upper left. The scene suggests an attentive gathering, such as satsang or darshan, but the object of their attention is not visible.
