A photograph of two seated men in saffron-orange robes facing a cluster of television microphones at a press briefing, seated on ornate gold-framed thrones with deep red velvet backs. The man on the left, younger and clean-shaven with long dark hair, wears a red headband, a black rudraksha mala and a silver necklace, and has his hands folded in his lap. The man on the right, elderly and bald with white sacred ash on his forehead and head, wears a red headband, a long black rudraksha mala, a gold pendant and bangles, and rests his hands on his knees. A standing attendant in orange robes stands behind them. Microphones bear logos of Tamil television channels, and autumn maple leaves decorate the pillars. a person's identity is not established from appearance here; the page links this event to a person, but the caption does not confirm which seated man, if either, is him.
