Inside a white-canopied hall with ceiling fans and decorated pillars, a man with long dark hair wears a red garment and a marigold garland, holding a small book or tray and standing before a silver tray of gold-coloured items. Around him stand devotees in white dhotis and shirts, a man in a striped shirt with hands joined, a bald man in orange cloth at right, and a man in white with a rudraksha mala on the left. The setting suggests a pada puja procession during a satsang.
