Photo of an outdoor stage event in Karaikudi, Tamil Nadu. A bald elderly man in orange robes with a white necklace and tilak sits on a white cushioned throne-like seat, extending his hands to receive folded banknotes. Standing before him, a smiling younger person in orange robes, an orange turban, a red sash and long rudraksha mala bends forward to hand over the money. White flower petals lie on the stage. Behind them a large banner shows a portrait and Tamil script, with red drapes, a water bottle and a glass on a white table. Swamiji (probable) appears as the standing figure in orange turban with long hair and rudraksha mala, offering the money; the seated elder is a devotee receiving it.
