A roadside billboard on a rough dirt verge beside a leafy tree, bougainvillea and a thatched hut. The billboard advertises a Tamil Bhagavad Gita dhyana satsang with a close-up photograph of a smiling man wearing a golden-yellow turban with a peacock-feather ornament, earrings, beaded necklaces and a blue garment. Two wooden benches sit in front and bamboo scaffolding stands at right. The man is pictured on the poster, not physically present, and no clear identification is made from appearance.
