A photograph of a Sony flat-screen television on a red-draped table in the foreground, showing a crowded aerial view of a temple procession with dense crowds and red barricades, with a Tamil news ticker along the bottom. Behind it, a group of young boys in red and orange robes with white forehead markings sit on the ground, several with rudraksha beads, while adults stand nearby: a woman in a white and red sari, women in white kurta-style and cream saris, a man in a white shirt and red stole, and a woman in white with a red shawl. Several adults wear lanyards. The scene suggests ashram students watching a televised event.
