A smiling man in an orange-red turban and matching orange-red robes sits with palms pressed together in namaste on an ornate dark wooden chair on a stage. A vibrant yellow backdrop is decorated with yellow and pink gerbera flowers and palm fronds, and orange-red carpet lies at the front. A white placard on a glass table in front of him bears a Tamil name. Partially visible at right, another person in a white-and-grey striped shirt sits on a chair. Probable Swamiji cues include the orange-red turban and robes with a long hairstyle, seated on a stage throne. Water bottles and white and purple orchids sit near the front edge.
