A photograph of a lamp-lit temple stage decorated for Karthigai Deepam. Rows of brass oil lamps glow on the floor in front of a seated man in an orange-red robe and matching red turban, his palms pressed together in namaskar before a microphone stand.

To the left, a standing attendant in orange dress and red headwear holds a tall fan. Red-and-gold canopies hang above the shrine.
