A photograph at an indoor convention crowded with many seated and standing delegates in white and light clothing. In the foreground a bearded man with long dark hair wears a pale turquoise turban and a white embroidered kurta, his arms extended with palms raised toward the head of a young man in a striped white shirt who bends forward to receive the gesture. Behind them a woman in a dark embroidered shawl and white top, a small name badge on her chest, watches, with a red-orange cloth draped near her. Large crowd fills the background, with a standing fan at left and a red floor covering. The bearded man is a person candidate based on the long hair, turban and white clothing, but this is uncertain.
