Large outdoor crowd at dusk gathered on an open dirt ground, most people dressed in white ritual clothing and some wearing saffron-and-white lanyards and ribbon badges. Many devotees stand with palms pressed together in namaskar or clap in the air. Parked white cars, scaffolding and a partly built multistorey structure appear in the background, with a fountain and a row of distant lights, and a large speaker stands at the left edge. No single figure is clearly identifiable as the a person from appearance, so no candidate is named.
