Indoor hall with a wood-beamed ceiling and ceiling fans, where a crowd of people stands and sits on chairs and folding tables. Most men wear white shirts and trousers; a woman in a yellow sari sits at a table in the foreground, and women in orange and saffron garments are seated near the bottom edge. A framed portrait hangs on the wall at right, and a window at the back is decorated with a strand of flower garlands. A standing man in a white shirt and dark trousers gestures toward the room. No candidate for a person is clearly identifiable by appearance, so the photo is recorded as unsure.
