A large hall with white walls, ceiling fans and fluorescent lights holds a seated gathering of many people in white clothes, several with yellow or orange cords, sitting on the floor in long rows before banana leaf plates with food and small steel cups. A woman in a red sari stands near the open doorway at left, while a man in white stands near the back and attendants move between rows. No individual is clearly identifiable as a person from the visible cues, so no candidate is named.
