Photograph of two seated men in orange and saffron robes with gold-embroidered borders before an ornate gold throne-backdrop with carved relief panels. The man on the right wears a dark beaded headband, a gold bead necklace, a beaded armlet and a vertical tilak, and sits with hands clasped in front of a bank of microphones. The older man on the left, bare-chested with white ash lines and a dark beaded headband, sits beside him. Numerous Tamil news channel microphones, including Jaya TV, Sun News, Captain TV, Moon TV, Thamizhan and NTV, are arranged on an orange draped table in front of them, with a reporter's hand holding a microphone at the bottom edge.
