Indoor hall with orange walls, a corrugated metal roof and exposed steel trusses, with a red carpet runner down the centre. A barefoot man in a saffron-orange robe with a long orange shawl and a rudraksha mala walks along the carpet, a yellow-orange turban on his head and long hair visible at the back. Behind him a bald man in white dhoti and white shirt with an orange shawl walks beside a man in white with a yellow sash. On the left, people in white with orange and yellow shawls stand near a camera operator. Seated devotees in white sit on mats along a metal railing, and a child in white sits on a mat at right. Banners with photographs and colourful pillars decorate the wall behind. The saffron-robed man shows appearance-based cues consistent with a candidate, so this is a probable identification.
