A dense seated congregation of devotees fills a hall, most wearing saffron-orange or white garments with rudraksha malas. Many have white or ash forehead markings and sit cross-legged with eyes closed or lips parted in chant, some holding open books. Behind them are white-clad participants and a table with lamps and offerings. No single figure is clearly identifiable as a person, so no candidate is marked.
