A large crowd of young men fills a white tent hall with a red carpet running down the aisles and green floor covering at the right. Many wear white shirts, white dhotis or checked and striped button-up shirts, and some have ID lanyards around their necks. Several stand in conversation or with arms folded, while others push forward through the aisle. Striped bunting with yellow sunflower motifs hangs along the side walls, and a white canopy with yellow and pink garlands runs across the ceiling. No individual leader or a person is clearly visible in the frame.
