A large indoor hall with a corrugated roof and rows of fluorescent tube lights on poles, filled with a dense crowd of devotees in mostly white clothes. Several men in white shirts and dhotis, some wearing rudraksha malas, raise their arms and clap; one man at left raises his right hand high with a bangle and red thread. Women in cream and green sarees, with gold necklaces and red bindis, stand among them. Banners and a framed portrait hang on the side walls, and a small logo appears at the upper left. No one on stage is clearly visible, so no a person candidate can be confirmed in person.
