A photo of a temple interior with a man in orange saffron robes with gold borders walking across a dark stone floor, hands folded in front of him. He wears a long rudraksha mala, a red bindi and has long swept-back hair. A second figure in white dhoti and shawl with a sacred thread follows behind, and a third person in white stands further back near a pillar. A plain black stone shivalingam-like pedestal sits on the floor to the right. Behind them stands a small shrine doorway and a yellow banner with Tamil text and images. Swamiji (probable): the orange-robed man with long hair, rudraksha mala and gold-bordered saffron clothing matches the page's description of Paramahamsa Nithyananda at a morning satsang.
