A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a long rudraksha mala holds a silver trident aloft in a hall with wooden panelling and yellow walls. Many devotees sit around in white clothes and orange-red shawls, most wearing black or red blindfolds over their eyes. A brass singing bowl sits on a small table beside the seated figure, and a dark conch-shaped object rests nearby. Behind them, white-clad participants stand and sit, and a few devotees wear red headbands. The seated figure appears to be a person wearing saffron clothing, rudraksha beads and a trident, and is presented as the central teacher of the gathering. Several dozen people are visible in the frame.
