A photograph inside a temple hall with cream walls, red curtains and a lit shrine at the back holding a golden deity murti with a kalasha-like offering in front. Several men in maroon and brown robes with rudraksha malas walk forward across a white marble floor, one wearing a red flower garland. Behind them, men in orange and white dhotis and women in saris stand watching, with hands folded in some cases. No person is clearly identifiable as a person by the visible cues described in the rules, so the candidate is left unsure.
