A large crowd of men sits closely packed on the floor of a tented hall, many in white shirts and white dhotis, with some wearing colourful checked shirts. Plastic chairs are scattered among the seated rows near the front. A long table draped with a floral batik-style cloth runs across the foreground with a plate on it. Decorative cylindrical pillars wrapped in yellow, red and blue patterned fabric with elephant motifs stand along the sides, and a blue banner with Tamil text hangs on the left wall. Some men stand at the back in white shirts and lanyards, and the hall is lit by hanging fluorescent lights.
