The banner carries a large black-and-white portrait of a smiling long-haired man and Tamil lettering along its lower edge. On the stage, a figure in an orange turban and orange robe with a rudraksha-style necklace stands at the centre, with a second man in orange robes standing at the right edge, and a cameraman in a white shirt with an orange shawl filming on the left. Many people in white shirts, orange saris and kurtas stand among the crowd, with women wearing flowers in their hair. A green tree line is visible at the far left.
