A photograph of a stage set for a Tamil satsang. A seated man in white ritual clothes with a gold border, hands folded in greeting, sits on a red throne-style chair wearing a long flower garland. He appears to be a single person on stage. Behind him, a large banner shows a smiling man in a white turban beside Tamil script, and orange drapes cover the stage front. Flower vases stand beside the chairs, and a ring of red, orange and blue decorations hangs overhead. Empty armchairs sit to either side. The figure's identity is uncertain from appearance alone, so only the role is described.
