A crowded indoor convention hall with many seated and standing delegates. In the foreground, a bearded man with long dark hair wears a turquoise and white turban-style head wrap and a white embroidered kurta with turquoise speckles. He leans forward and extends his hand to touch the head of a young boy in a striped shirt, while a young man in a grey shirt with an ID badge looks on. The attendees behind wear white, pastel and yellow clothing. The appearance of the bearded man in the foreground is consistent with a person candidate from the turquoise turban and long hair, and he is seen giving blessing to a delegate.
