A seated gathering of men in plain white shirts and white dhotis sits on mats in a hall with decorated pillars and banners. Many wear lanyards and name badges; some are bald or grey-haired, and a few boys sit at the front, one in an orange shirt. Along the back wall are large posters of a long-haired figure with a guitar, and a table holds metal vessels. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible among the seated participants, so no in-person candidate is confirmed. Several people sit with eyes closed or hands clasped in attentive listening.
