A group of smiling men in saffron-orange dhotis and shawls sits on the floor at a festive meal, many with bare chests and rudraksha malas. Several hold up turmeric-stained palms toward the camera, and a banana leaf with yellow food is spread before them. Behind them a yellow cloth-draped table holds steel vessels, and a few figures in white and orange sit further back. No individual is clearly identifiable as a person by the visible cues, so no candidate is marked.
