A large indoor convention hall with a draped white and lavender ceiling canopy and rows of bright stage lights. A vast crowd of men stands in dense rows on a red carpet, most with white cloth bands tied across their eyes, many in white shirts, checked shirts and dhotis, some holding small white papers. Plastic water bottles are placed on the floor among them. Few faces are clearly visible; the scene reads as a mass standing session. No identifiable a person figure is visible in this view, so no identification is made.
