A seated audience fills a bright hall with cream walls, air conditioners and a wooden ceiling, watching toward the front. Most attendees wear white clothes: men in white shirts and dhotis or trousers, women in white saris with thin gold borders, and many wear rudraksha-style beaded necklaces with name badges. Some people sit on red plastic chairs and others on the floor, and a few men stand at the back. The front row shows an older man in glasses with folded hands, and a woman in a white sari with a gold border holds her head in one hand. No a person candidate is clearly visible in this crowd.
