A large seated gathering of men in white clothes with white cloth blindfolds tied over their eyes, sitting closely on blue mats at a convention hall. Many wear white shirts and dhotis, while a few wear grey or khaki shirts, and some have conference badges clipped to their chests. In the foreground a bald older man in a white shirt rests his chin on his hand. No a person candidate is visible in this frame, so the scene shows only devotees taking part in the programme.
