Beside him, a woman in an orange sari and orange cap stands near another microphone. Behind them a crowd of men in white kurtas, orange stoles and a checked blue shirt stands watching.

The seated figure is positioned at right on a raised platform edge; a candidate matching a person by appearance (long swept hair, orange clothing, bead malas) is visible, so this is probable. Around them, several men wear white dhotis and orange shawls, one with a rudraksha mala and another with a white forehead mark.
