A group of young people pose together inside a spacious hall. Several are crouching and others are standing, with some making peace signs and playful gestures. In the background, other groups are engaged in conversation near pillars and tables. A prominent frame sign with 'FOSS UNITED,' 'UNITED BY FOSS,' and 'INDIA FOSS 2025' is displayed at the center.
