A large group photograph outdoors on a stone platform before golden domed open pavilions and green trees. More than a hundred men, mostly bare-chested and wearing white or colourful dhoti-style lower cloths, sit and stand on striped cloth mats and blue bolsters, many raising their hands in greeting. In the centre a seated figure in an orange-red cloth sits on a raised blue cushion, with a large statue-like figure in saffron behind and a white-clad man seated nearby. Several men on the left and right wear orange or red cloths and some hold wooden staffs upright. The setting suggests a meditation or satsang gathering.
