A crowded seated gathering of young men and boys in white ritual clothes and red headbands inside a hall. A bare-chested man at right with long dark braided hair wears an orange-saffron cloth around his waist and a rudraksha-style mala, sitting among the crowd and looking to the side. Many participants hold up small white printed papers, one reading IRON VOTE WELL, and some have red headbands and rudraksha malas. Several people appear to be sitting cross-legged close together. The bare-chested man is a candidate for a person by appearance only: long swept-back hair, saffron cloth and rudraksha mala are present, but identity is uncertain.
