Women on the right wear white and patterned saris and headscarves with hands folded in prayer. Further back an orange-clad man and a figure in black stand near white pillars. A striped red and yellow mat runs along the left edge, and a faint logo sits in the top left corner. Many attendees are visible, but no a person candidate is clearly identifiable.
