A photograph inside a temple office corridor. A long-haired figure in a bright orange sleeveless top stands at a counter with a bare-chested man in a saffron-toned cloth and rudraksha mala, whose topknot and ornaments are visible, beside a man in white dhoti and shirt. Another man in white kneels or bends at the counter's edge. Several men in white dhotis and a camera operator with a video camera stand around. A wall clock, blue Tamil signs reading 'அரங்காவலர்கள்' and 'இணை ஆணையர்/செயல் அலுவலர்', and a framed picture are visible. Appearance-based candidate: a person in the orange-clad figure with long hair? Not established; the bare-chested figure with topknot and rudraksha mala is only tentatively identified, so a person is set to unsure.
