A large banyan tree with hanging aerial roots dominates an outdoor setting. Beneath it, a group of about thirty people in plain white clothes sit on a low stone bench and the ground, many wearing blue or red lanyards with ID badges. On the far right, a woman in white sits apart at the end of the bench, and a few people in blue shirts and white dress sit or stand around the edges. Others in white and blue are scattered among the trees in the background. The scene resembles a seated satsang gathering under the tree.
