A large seated congregation in a hall with pale walls and wooden doors, many people clapping and chanting during a satsang-style gathering. In the foreground, young people wear saffron-orange cloths with rudraksha malas and white forehead markings. A man in white ritual clothing with folded hands sits at centre. Behind them, rows of attendees in saffron and white sit on chairs and mats, some with hands pressed together in namaste. No single figure is clearly identifiable as a person from visible cues alone, so no candidate is named.
