A man seated on a white-draped couch speaks into a microphone on a stand. He wears a white dhoti and white upper cloth with gold-edged borders, a rudraksha mala around his neck, a red bindi and tilak on his forehead, and gold bangles on his wrist. Behind him is a garlanded picture of a long-haired figure in a frame, flanked by brass kalasha pots with red flowers and green leaves, and a white altar cloth with flower garlands. A small oil lamp stands at the left edge. The scene suggests a speaking or teaching moment during a Tamil Nadu gathering.

He wears white draped clothing with a white shawl over his shoulders, a red bindi on his forehead and a long gold ceremonial necklace of beads. His hands are folded in his lap and a black microphone on a stand is in front of him, with an orange cable running across the seat.

He wears white ritual clothing: a white sleeveless top with a white wrap draped over the shoulders and a white dhoti, with a long gold-toned bead necklace and a red bindi on his forehead. His hands rest together in his lap, and a microphone on a black stand is in front of him. Background lights and a white structure are visible. Appearance and cues are not sufficient to confirm any identity, and the page does not indicate he is present, so the role is described as a seated man with a microphone.2009-08-24February 18 20112011-02-18August 24 20092009-08-24December 19 20102010-12-19A man seated on an ornate golden throne with carved gold backrest speaks into a microphone on a stand.
