A photograph of a large indoor hall with a crowd of men in white dhotis and white shirts, along with men in striped and checked shirts, many wearing lanyard badges. Several men in the foreground raise their arms and sway in a group movement, with one holding a small colourful stick. Rudraksha malas hang on some chests. Colourful woven cloth streamers and hanging tassels decorate the ceiling, and display panels line the walls. No a person candidate is clearly visible among the people shown, so the identity cannot be established.
