A large indoor hall filled with seated devotees, mostly women, in white, cream, saffron and yellow clothing, many with palms pressed together in anjali.

Behind them, shelves of books and a glass display case line the room, with colourful woven banners hanging from the white framework above. Hindu satsang or devotional gathering setting. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible, so no in-person candidate is claimed.

Many women and some children sit on blue-striped mats and cushions with their hands pressed together in prayer, a common posture during satsang or meditation. A woman in a white top and patterned pants sits in front with palms joined, and a woman in a green salwar sits beside her. Colourful striped fabric pillars with orange tassels hang from the ceiling. In the background, a small orange cloth-draped platform and framed pictures are visible on the walls. A few women stand at the back, and a figure in a yellow sari stands near the stage area. No identifiable a person is shown in appearance, so no candidate is marked.
