A seated group of devotees in orange and saffron clothing, many wearing rudraksha beads and white forehead markings, sits on the floor during a gathering. In the foreground a young man with a shaved head applies white paste to his brow with his fingers, and a woman with a long braid beside him does the same. Other participants in orange garments, some holding notebooks, sit close together, and a bare-shouldered man with a shaved head is visible in the background. Nobody here is clearly identifiable as a person, so no candidate is marked.
