Indoor photograph at a satsang-style gathering. A figure in a cream-white turban and cream wrap, with a multicoloured flower garland (pink, purple, green) and gold ornaments, stands at left with a hand raised to the forehead of a man in a white shirt and a rudraksha mala with a gold pendant, who has his eyes closed. Behind them, a standing fan, several men in white clothes and a man in orange robes watch. A man at top holds a camera. The setting appears to be a plain room with a fan and a white wall. The figure's cues are visible but limited, so the figure is described by role and marked as uncertain.
