Night gathering under a tent with orange and yellow banners overhead and a crowd of men in white shirts and dhotis. A figure in saffron/orange robes and an orange turban sits on a red-cushioned chair with white pillows, leaning forward and smiling as he places his hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt with palms pressed together. Another man in a striped shirt stands beside him. Several devotees wear rudraksha malas and name badges. A microphone stand and podium stand in the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long dark hair under the orange turban and wears orange robes, consistent with the page's Tiruvannamalai birthstar event; this is an appearance-based label only.
