A large outdoor banner, photographed beside a dirt area with trees, shows a seated figure in white robes and a long garland of white and yellow beads, smiling with one hand raised to the cheek. The figure has long dark hair and a red bindi, shown as a printed portrait rather than a physical person. Tamil text is printed across the top and bottom of the banner. In the lower right, a man in a pink shirt and white dhoti sits on a wooden barrier, and a person in white with an orange cloth edge stands at the right margin. The banner's printed portrait is a depiction; the seated man and standing person are the only physical people.
