Outdoor photo of a crowd around a central man in saffron-orange robes with a heavy gold beaded necklace and a red tilak on his forehead, smiling as he speaks to reporters. Microphones labelled LOTUS NEWS and Sathiyam are pushed toward him, and camera operators with a professional video camera and a handheld camcorder film from the right. Around him stand shaved-headed men in saffron robes wearing rudraksha malas, a bald man in saffron with white tilak markings, and men in white shirts and dhotis. A woman in a red-bordered sari appears behind, and a kumkum-marked older man in white stands at left. Stone steps and a yellow-green signboard are behind the group.
