A large seated gathering of delegates on a red carpeted hall floor at a convention. Many men sit cross-legged in rows, most wearing white shirts and dhotis or light trousers, with some in checked or colored shirts, and nearly all have a white cloth blindfold tied over their eyes. Each sits before a plate, with leaf or paper bowls, water bottles and cloth bags placed in front. Banners and stage décor line the upper walls and a red-and-white canopy stands at the far right. Several front-row figures are in the middle of the scene, and the crowd fills the frame to the back of the hall. The scene reads as an organized meal or session of seated attendees.
