A woman in a pale yellow sari sits on a white plastic chair on a raised stage in front of dark red curtains, speaking into a microphone on a stand. An empty ornate orange throne-style chair stands behind her. Several people in white clothing sit cross-legged on striped blue and red mats on the wooden floor facing the stage, one holding papers, while a woman with a long braid sits in the foreground. No one is clearly identifiable as a person on the stage, so the candidate is absent.
