Inside a temple hall with grey stone pillars, a central figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban stands wearing a thick garland of yellow marigolds and red flowers over green leaves, with a gold chain at his neck. A shirtless priest in a white dhoti with a sacred thread, holding a sacred thread, reaches up to touch the garlanded man's chin in blessing. A bespectacled man in a white checked shirt and dark trousers stands at right, touching the garland, while a crowd of men in white dhotis and orange shawls surrounds them. A yellow sign reads Arunachaleshwar temple, and a cameraman is partly visible at left. Swamiji (probable): the garlanded figure wears orange robes, an orange turban and a gold necklace.
