Evening outdoor ceremony under a white tent with orange valance. A bald man in saffron robes on the left holds a tiered brass aarti lamp with multiple lit flames raised high. Seated on a gold-and-red throne on a stage, a smiling figure wears an orange turban and orange robe with a red-and-white flower garland, one hand raised in blessing. Behind him a large backdrop shows a painted portrait of a man in an orange turban with a Tamil caption. Around the stage, devotees sit in white shirts, white dhotis and white saris, several with folded hands, and a woman in a yellow-and-white sari with a long braid sits in front. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure in the orange turban and robe, identified by the orange turban, saffron robes and garland cues.
