Two old sepia photographs are displayed against a dark red velvet cloth beneath an ornate gold-carved frame. The larger photo in a black wooden frame shows five men seated outdoors before a whitewashed building with lattice windows; they wear white dhotis and bare upper bodies, with rudraksha malas and sacred ash, one seated figure in white cloth with a shaved head. The smaller mounted photo on cream card shows a group of older robed men, women in saris and children seated before a temple-like setting with brass vessels in front. Both are vintage studio-style group portraits.

A stack of red-framed prints shows a seated figure beside white chess-like pieces, labelled with Tamil text.

Seated in front on a sofa is a bare-chested man with a gold-toned pendant, a large rudraksha mala hanging to his waist and a white cloth draped over his shoulders, with a light-coloured turban-like wrap on his head. Behind him stand five men: one bare-chested on the far left with a beaded necklace and white cloth around his waist, two in light short-sleeved shirts, one in a plaid shirt, and one in a white T-shirt on the far right with a wristwatch. The seated man's appearance matches the page's reference to a person, but his identity is uncertain from appearance alone, so he is described by role and marked unsure.2012-05-24February 06 20172017-02-06May 24 20122012-05-24 +1 copies
