A crowded indoor hall full of people in white and orange clothing, many dancing or jostling energetically with raised arms. In the centre-right, an older man with grey hair and a grey beard wears an orange-peach shawl and raises a fist; he appears to be a candidate for a person but the appearance is uncertain, so he is described only by role. Nearby, a young man with a yellow-orange turban and an orange shawl stands among the crowd, and a bare-backed man wears an orange cloth and a sacred thread. Many white-clad young men and boys surround them, some wearing lanyards. Wall banners and framed photographs line the upper walls of the hall.
