The black plaque shows a black-and-white portrait of a smiling man in a white turban and white garment, with a red dot on his forehead, set above Tamil text. Two men stand beside the plaque: a young man in a striped collared shirt and glasses on the left, and a man in a white shirt partly visible on the right. The plaque text is printed, not a physical person, and the portrait is a printed depiction, so the a person field is depiction. The plaque's caption attributes the portrait to a person, and the unveiling and location are printed on it.2010-02-18July 29 20082008-07-29
