Wide photograph of a large seated audience inside a white tented pavilion during a convention session. Hundreds of men in white shirts and white dhotis or trousers sit cross-legged on red carpeting, many wearing lanyard identity badges, facing a raised stage at the far end. Blue backdrop banners with a row of framed portraits and small yellow-orange floral decorations line the stage. Ceiling fans, hanging lights and a scalloped white valance border the tent. A man in an orange shirt sits near the front right. No individual on the stage is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance, so no candidate is asserted.
