A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban sits on a white-covered throne with bolster and tasselled cushions, palms pressed together in namaste with eyes closed. A kneeling man in white dress with a rudraksha mala stands or kneels beside him with hands folded, and several men in white shirts and dhotis stand behind with hands in anjali. A woman in a light top stands at the back. Behind them hangs a large banner portrait of a smiling man with a red bindi, a Tamil slogan printed on it, and gold drapes with white flower garlands frame the stage. The seated figure is visibly a candidate for the described a person but appearance cues are only partly distinctive (orange turban and robes, long hair), so identity is uncertain.
