A large indoor gathering of devotees fills a hall decorated with strings of warm fairy lights along the balcony railing and columns. Most men and women wear white clothes with saffron-orange shawls draped over their shoulders. Many have their hands folded in namaskar or are standing close together in a dense crowd. Ceiling fans hang beneath a patterned white ceiling, and more people watch from the upper balcony. No single figure at the front is clearly identifiable as a person, so no candidate is marked.
