A seated group of men in white kurta-style clothing and white dhotis, many wearing bright orange-gold turbans and red-maroon shawls, sit on mats in a pink-walled hall during a meal. Each has a small white cup and a green leaf plate set before them. Standing attendants in white with white head coverings move among them, and one figure in a brown robe stands at the right. A small deity figure appears at the upper left against the wall. Several men wear rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and lanyard badges. No clearly identifiable a person figure is evident, so no candidate is named.
