A crowded indoor room with white walls, a ceiling fan and fluorescent tube light, where a large group of men in white shirts and dhotis stand packed together. A large framed painting on the back wall shows a figure in orange robes seated against a green landscape with a red cushion; a smaller framed picture hangs to the right. In the foreground, a shaven-headed man in an orange-and-yellow shawl stands among the crowd near windows with metal grilles. The scene appears to be a welcoming gathering, with people pressing toward the painted figure's side of the room.
