He gestures while speaking to a group of men in white dhotis and white shirts, several wearing rudraksha malas, who stand before him holding a large red wooden plaque with a silver-framed photograph and a silver medallion. Behind him stand two monks in orange robes, one wearing a gold necklace, and a golden trident rests beside a golden lion statue at the throne. A red plaque bears Tamil inscription text and a date.
