A photograph of a large group of devotees seated cross-legged on woven mats outdoors, meditating or in satsang in front of an orange and white temple building. Most wear white kurta-style clothes and rudraksha malas; one man in front wears a grey t-shirt, another a black shirt, and a bearded man in the centre wears a white kurta with a dark mala. A man at the left wears an orange shawl and a blue-and-white striped shirt is visible nearby. Women in white and blue saris and headscarves sit among them, and a few people in orange sit on the steps behind. Potted plants, a tall orange-clad statue, and red-and-white painted steps frame the scene, with a banner on the right showing a robed figure and a dark ladder at the upper left.
