A group of five people sit and stand in a bright, plain hall with white tiled floor and white plastic chairs. Four seated men wear orange and saffron robes and orange headwraps; one has a long beard and a mala, another gestures while speaking, and a woman in a salmon-pink sari with long dark wavy hair sits between them. A standing older man in a white shirt and cream dhoti holds his hands together. Behind them is a bronze Nataraja statue draped with a garland, and a glass case holds a golden Om symbol. The seated figure in the middle with a long-haired, dark appearance and orange robes shows no distinctive presentation cue sufficient to confirm an identity, so the candidate is left unsure.
