A bare-footed man in long saffron-orange robes and an orange turban, with long hair and a bead necklace, stands at left with one hand extended while a man in white dhoti and gold-bordered shawl prostrates on the carpet in front of him. Behind them, seated figures in white and a woman in a gold-bordered sari sit before a purple banner with framed portrait photographs and Tamil text. A microphone stand, water bottles and marigold garlands sit on a table. Several other people in white clothing are visible in the background. The orange-robed figure matches the appearance cues of Swamiji (probable), with saffron robes, orange turban and long hair.
