A large outdoor convention crowd at a Tamil Nadu event. In the foreground, a man in a light blue turban and white clothing with a red-orange garland touches the forehead of a young man in a grey-and-white checked shirt who has his eyes closed and one hand raised palm-out. The young man wears a conference badge. Behind them, many seated and standing attendees in white and pastel clothes fill a red-carpeted hall with a drum visible at the top right. The turban-wearing man shows no distinctive a person cues such as long swept hair, saffron clothing, or ornate regalia, so his identity is uncertain.
