A photograph of a large seated audience at an indoor programme, with men in white shirts and white dhotis sitting on a white mat in rows. Many wear rudraksha malas and have rosettes with green and yellow ribbons pinned to their shirts. Some sit with hands folded, and a row of white plastic chairs and draped decorations are visible in the background. No one is clearly identifiable as a person in this view, so no candidate is described.
