Outdoor photo at a temple entrance in Tiruvannamalai, with a stone gopuram and a sign reading Thulabaram above a hundi. A long-haired man in orange robes and a red-and-yellow marigold garland with gold ornaments walks forward smiling, holding a pink cloth and sacred items; he has a rudraksha-style gold necklace and forehead markings. Beside him a bald saffron-robed sannyasi with glasses and a gold pendant walks with a red-and-orange shawl. A man in white shirt and dhoti in the foreground, several men in white and orange robes, and attendants stand around, with a hillside and palms behind. Swamiji (probable): the long-haired figure in the garlanded orange robes and gold ornaments matches the page's Swamiji presence, so swamiji is set to in_person.
