Crowded indoor hall under a white tent-style ceiling with tall decorated pillars painted in red, yellow and green with animal motifs. Many men in white clothes and beaded rudraksha-style malas stand close together, several with palms pressed in anjali or raised hands, some with eyes closed in prayer. A man in front wears wire-rimmed glasses and a white shirt, another has a full beard, and a purple banner hangs in the background. No clearly identifiable a person figure with long hair, crown or saffron robes is visible; the crowd is in white and the central figure is not distinguishable, so the candidate is uncertain.
