A crowded evening gathering at night, lit by warm red light, with many people seated closely together. In the centre, a man with swept-back grey hair, a red tilak on his forehead and a grey-and-white robe printed with Sanskrit lettering wears a long rudraksha mala and a loose green-grey jacket, eyes lowered in stillness. Beside him sits a younger man with long dark hair and a grey shawl, also wearing a rudraksha mala. A child in white with glasses sits in the lower foreground. Others in white kurtas and dark jackets sit behind them, several with rudraksha malas, and a blue puffer jacket appears at the right edge. The atmosphere suggests quiet meditation or satsang.
