Outdoor photo of a festival stall beneath a striped multicoloured canopy with a green cloth backdrop. Three tall white vertical banners display Tamil text and portrait photos of a smiling man with a shaved head and saffron-orange turban or cloth, one with a candle-lit figure. A framed portrait on a stand shows a long-haired man with a necklace. Several people stand and walk on sandy ground near the stall, with palm trees and a rocky hill behind. Their presentation is not verifiable from the image, so the portrait subjects are described by role only. Festival crowd gathers along the stall.

Overhead hang a green decorative garland and a tarpaulin roof.
