Night photo of a crowded outdoor event under a bright floodlight on a pole. Many people, mostly men in white shirts and women in saris, fill the open ground between rows of red plastic chairs and bamboo barriers. A strip of coloured triangular bunting hangs over a tent on the left. On the right, a large banner shows a smiling man with a swept-back hairstyle wearing an orange turban and orange robe, with a Tamil caption. The banner is a printed portrait, not a physical person. Because the page says Swamiji was at this event, the man in the portrait is a candidate, but his appearance is depicted on a banner, so the depiction value applies, with uncertainty about identity.
