A large crowd of men fills a hall under warm overhead lights, many in white shirts and some in checked or striped shirts. Many have raised hands or palms pressed together in devotional gestures, and several wear lanyard ID badges. Some wear rudraksha or gold chains. Overhead, banners hang from the ceiling beams, and the back wall is lit with an orange glow. The crowd is densely packed across the frame, with faces toward the front of the hall where a speaker or ritual is presumably taking place out of view.
