A seated group of men in white shirts and white dhotis sits cross-legged on a purple mat during a meditative gathering, eyes closed and hands resting in their laps. Many wear rudraksha malas and small pendants, and a few have tilak or kumkum marks on the forehead. In the foreground an older man with a vibhuti or kumkum mark and rudraksha mala sits beside an orange and black bag. Rows of white plastic chairs and a stage area with a lamp-lit setting are visible behind them. No individual is clearly a person in this crowd, so no candidate is identified.
