A photograph taken under a corrugated metal shelter with yellow steel railings and a red canopy pole. In the lower centre, a bearded man with long dark hair wears a rust-orange robe, a gold necklace and a shawl-like wrap, hands pressed together in namaskar and a faint smile. Around him, several men in white dhotis and white shirts stand with palms joined, one with a rudraksha mala and bangles; a younger man in an orange cloth and glasses stands behind, and an older man in white is also present. A man at left has long dreadlocked hair, a white flower in it, and a red forehead mark. Printed text on a stone slab reads partly in Tamil and English. Visible people: about nine. The robed man is a candidate by his orange robe, gold necklace and long hair, but the appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm identity.
