A photograph inside a large tented hall with red plastic chairs stacked in rows and exposed bamboo poles overhead. In the foreground, a woman with long curly dark hair, wearing a red sleeveless top and an orange skirt, walks away from the camera. To the left, two men in white ritual-style clothing stand close together, one with his hands clasped in front; one of them has a long swept-back hair style and may be a person candidate by appearance, but the view is from behind and mostly obscured, so identity is uncertain. Banners and display boards line the back wall, and a few other people are faintly visible in the background.
