Outdoors on dry, open ground beneath a striped tent canopy strung with small pennant flags, women in white saris with gold borders stand in a long line with palms pressed together in anjali mudra, greeting. A teal green carpet runs down the centre of the open ground between them. Behind the line, more people in white and seated spectators under the tent fill the background, with a power pole and a clear sky overhead. A woman at the front wears gold bangles and a thin gold chain; one woman in the line wears an ID badge on a lanyard. No a person candidate is visible.
