Indoor photo of a crowded ashram hall at an inauguration event. A long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe with rudraksha malas sits on a white seat or throne at center, appearing to be receiving devotees, with a visible pendant-like ornament on his chest; this appearance is consistent with Swamiji (probable) given the saffron robe and multiple rudraksha malas. A man in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala stands in the foreground at left. A young girl in white and a girl with a long braid bend near the floor on a patterned mat, touching or offering something, while other children in white and an older woman in a sari stand at right. A banner behind reads Rajapalayam Ashram in Tamil with marigold garlands hanging above it.
