A photograph of an outdoor stage at a discourse event. A man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban stands at a brown wooden podium with a microphone, speaking. Behind him is a deity murti with a white and red face, a gold arched frame and a striped garland, beside a colourful swirling painted backdrop. A blue draped cloth and corrugated roof cover the stage, with yellow picket railing and blue chairs in front. A brass oil lamp and potted plants sit on the stage. Audience heads are visible at the bottom of the frame. The podium carries Tamil-script lettering. The speaker's appearance is consistent with the page's Swamiji reference, so this is a probable identification from visible cues: long swept-back hair, an orange turban and saffron robes.
