A seated devotee in saffron-orange sannyasi robes with a gold-bead necklace and a gold pendant prays with palms pressed together and head bowed, sitting on a green mat in front of silver oil lamps and a silver tray with offerings. Beside him, a man in plain white ritual cloth and rudraksha beads also sits with joined palms, and an orange-robed figure sits behind. Red chairs and orange drapery fill the background. White sandalwood-style markings streak the arms of the praying man. The setting suggests a satsang or puja gathering.
