A large seated gathering of men in plain white clothes sits closely packed on the floor under a canopy of patterned fabric hung with triangular pennants. Many wear necklaces of beads or malas and small name badges on their shirts. They face forward and look attentively toward an unseen speaker or stage. Yellow and red draped curtains line the back, lit by hanging lamps. No single figure dominates the frame, and the crowd fills the entire view.
