A packed crowd of men fills a hall at a Kalpataru convention. Most wear white shirts and white dhotis, and many have rudraksha malas around their necks. Several wear lanyard name badges. Spectators in front and at the sides watch intently toward a stage at the top right, where a figure in orange clothing stands near a glass fixture. A paper-cut or banner edge is visible at the top left. Faces are clearly visible, with several people looking toward the stage and others seated with hands clasped. No candidate for the page's a person is clearly identifiable in the visible scene, so the identity is uncertain.2008-10-04April 20 20132013-04-20February 27 20092009-02-27Photograph taken from an upper balcony of a large hall with a green-carpeted floor, where a dense audience of several hundred seated people fills the space.
