A dense crowd of men and a few women and children fills a large hall with cream walls, a steel roof truss and hanging yellow and patterned banners. Most men wear white shirts and white dhotis, some with saffron or orange shawls, while others wear striped or grey polo shirts. Faces are turned toward the front of the hall, pressing close together. A small girl in a pink dress stands near the centre. Bright ceiling lights glow overhead.
