A photograph of a dense crowd surging around a dark vehicle on a street in Tamil Nadu. Two large banners stand behind them: the left one shows a smiling man in an orange-saffron turban with a red bindi, and the right one shows a smaller portrait of a smiling figure in a saffron turban inside an oval frame. A few saffron-robed men stand at the centre of the crowd, one in orange with rudraksha-style beads, while many people in white shirts and dhotis reach forward holding up mobile phones and cameras. Uniformed police officers in khaki stand near the car. Behind the banners are trees, a blue-and-yellow building marked No 1, and a temple gopuram with a white horse statue at the right edge.

A central figure in an orange-saffron robe with a matching orange garland and long dark hair stands out above the crowd, with hands raised and a smiling expression. Around him, many men in white shirts and white dhotis, some with yellow shawls and orange cloth, reach toward him and clap or wave. Several bald and white-clad attendants move nearby. Behind the crowd, large banners with portraits and printed Tamil text hang from poles and a small pale structure is visible. Some people wear vibhuti and red tilak marks. The central figure has long dark hair, orange robes and a garland, which is a probable Swamiji appearance cue.2010-12-29January 06 20132013-01-06A crowded street procession moves between palm trees under a bright sky.
