An outdoor evening gathering on a paved hexagonal-tile courtyard with palm trees and a low building behind. Many men and some women sit on folding chairs watching toward the front, mostly in white dhotis and shirts, with one man in a blue shirt and a few children in bright yellow and orange clothing. A barefoot young man in a dark grey shirt and brown shorts stands prominently in the centre, facing the crowd. A man in a striped shirt holds a small booklet, and a man in the foreground wears a blue cap. No saffron-clad or a person-like figure is clearly visible, so no in-person candidate is identified.
