Outdoor event under a tree where a figure with long dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron robe with gold trim and a dark rudraksha mala, stands at a microphone with palms pressed together in namaste. Seated at the table beside them is a man in a yellow-green shirt, also with hands joined. Behind the table, a crowd of men in white shirts and dhotis stands, several with hands folded. A colourful banner behind shows Tamil text and a logo. Red and orange flowers and water bottles sit on the table. The long-haired figure has distinctive saffron robes, long hair and a mala, which is consistent with Swamiji (probable), shown addressing the gathering as the presenter. Approximately twelve people are visible.2008-08-01August 01 20082008-08-01August 01 20082008-08-01August 01 20082008-08-01August 01 20082008-08-01Outdoor event under a leafy tree.
