A large crowd of men and women fills a whitewashed hall, packed shoulder to shoulder and standing in rows toward the back. Most wear white shirts and white or pale clothing, with some in yellow and a few women in red and orange saris. Lanyards with badges hang from several necks. A video camera on a tripod stands at left beside an orange-and-black patterned pillar under a white tented ceiling, and a wall plaque is visible at upper right. No a person candidate is clearly visible among the attendees, so the identity question remains unresolved.
