A large hall packed with a crowd of devotees standing shoulder to shoulder, nearly all wearing white blindfolds tied over their eyes. In the foreground, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands beside a man in a checked shirt and a woman in a green-and-gold sari; further back, women wear saris in purple, navy and yellow. The hall has curtained stage backdrops in red and gold at the far end and bright tube lights along the ceiling. No a person candidate is clearly visible in this frame, so the figures are described by role and dress only.
