A large crowd of devotees fills a hall with white draped walls and red curtains, many of them raising their hands in the air. Women in saris and salwar kameez in pink, purple, orange, yellow and white stand and sit in rows, some wearing rudraksha or beaded necklaces. A timer on the wall reads 08:48, and a sign with multilingual text lists photography, video camera and mobile phone rules. Large screens at the sides show further crowds. The people are seated at the front, with a man in saffron-toned clothes among them, and no clear appearance-based candidate for a person is visible.
