Photo of a covered pavilion with a red-and-white striped mat floor where many people are seated, mostly men in saffron-orange dhotis and matching orange turbans with white body markings, and several women in white saris. In the foreground a row of seated drummers in orange sit beside metal drums. Behind them a golden horse-shaped vahana stands at right, and a decorated canopy with a deity murti is at the far end. A large screen above the crowd shows a group of orange-clad people. Marigold garlands and framed portraits line the pavilion's pillars. No single person is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance, so no candidate is labelled.
