A large seated gathering eats a meal from green banana leaves laid on a red carpet at an indoor event. Many devotees sit cross-legged in rows wearing white kurtas and dhotis, yellow, purple, blue and saffron-toned clothes, and rudraksha malas. A woman in a green sari sits at left, and a man in a yellow kurta with a rudraksha mala eats at centre. Bottled water sits along the banana leaves, and some attendants in white bend over the rows serving food. No single leader is clearly identifiable, and no a person candidate is clearly visible among the people shown.
