Outdoor satsang scene on a paved courtyard with a raised red-and-white striped platform behind. In the foreground, a man with long dark hair and a black cord necklace wears a saffron-orange robe and sits cross-legged on an orange cushion facing a shallow circular pit lined with gravel, beside a brass pot. Woolen mats in a row lead from him toward a seated group of about eight men in white, cream, beige and dark clothing, sitting in meditation. Potted plants and a red pillar frame the setting. Based on the robe, long hair and seated posture, the central figure may be a person leading the practice; the image shows him in an orange robe, long hair, and a black mala-style necklace while seated before the pit.
