A wide photograph of a large indoor hall packed with standing and seated people, mostly men in white shirts and dhotis, with women in saris including a pink sari and a red sari in the foreground. Several rows of ceiling fans and fluorescent tubes hang over the pale hall. Many people face toward the centre of the room, where one man in a white and grey patterned shirt stands prominently near the middle. Chairs with red cushions line the floor, and grey-framed windows and an arched doorway appear along the back wall. The crowd is dense, extending far into the background.
