A photograph of seated devotees in a hall during a person ceremony. Several participants wear orange-red eye coverings and red and white cloths; many wear rudraksha malas, and some bare-chested men wear white dhotis with yellow borders. A woman in white with a white forehead mark sits at the back, and a woman on the left writes at a small wooden table. The faces and expressions of the seated participants are relatively calm and focused, and a microphone-style headset is visible on one woman. The page indicates a person was at this event, but no figure here is visibly identifiable as a person, so no candidate is marked.
