A photograph of an indoor hall with white ceiling fans and a green carpeted runway leading to an empty orange-upholstered chair on a stage. A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron robe over orange lower garments and barefoot, walks down the green runway toward the audience. Seated on blue plastic chairs on both sides are rows of people, many women in white and cream saris with white head bands, and a woman in a green patterned sari. A banner behind the stage shows a framed portrait of a woman in orange and Tamil lettering. Probable Swamiji (probable) is the man in saffron robes with long swept-back hair walking the runway, identified by appearance cues of long hair and saffron clothing.
