Photograph of a seated congregation in a open-sided hall with a corrugated metal roof, decorated with tall colourful vertical banners in red, blue, yellow and white with floral and bird motifs. Dozens of devotees in white dhotis and white kurtas, many wearing saffron-orange shawls, sit on mats in rows facing the front. In the foreground a low black table holds a projector, flower garlands, brass items and a bowl. On the right, a bearded man in a white dhoti and saffron-orange shawl sits on a raised seat with his arms folded, a probable depiction-free in-person candidate who is not clearly a person by appearance; a white-clad attendant stands beside a speaker and a small fan is set among the seated people. A young child in the lower left looks on.
