Photograph of a seated group of men in white ritual dress with red-bordered white cloths, many with white ash markings on their foreheads and bodies. In the foreground a bald man with eyes closed holds his palms together in anjali mudra, with a rudraksha-style mala and red and gold bracelets. Other men beside and behind him sit with hands folded or in prayer. Blue containers and brass vessels rest on the floor. Behind them, a seated audience in a hall with red curtains and a window is visible. No one is clearly identifiable as a person in this frame, so no candidate is named.
