A large seated congregation fills a pink-walled hall with framed pictures and maroon valances above. Many men in white dhotis with gold-bordered shawls and rudraksha malas sit close together, some bare-chested, several clapping or raising hands. A man in a red-orange shawl sits centrally in the foreground, gesturing with open palms. Camera rigs and a tripod stand at the edges, and a few people in orange wear sit among the crowd. No one is clearly identifiable as a person from the visible cues, so the presence of a candidate is uncertain.
