Outdoor stage event under a decorated pavilion with blue, green and orange paper garlands and an orange flower motif. Two saffron-robed figures light a tall brass lamp together: the left one wears an orange turban, a rudraksha mala and a saffron shawl, smiling; the right one has long swept-back hair and an orange-and-maroon-bordered robe. A man in white dhoti and shirt with a red forehead mark stands beside them, and a man in beige shirt watches at right. A banner with Tamil lettering and a decorated orange chair with flower arrangements sit behind. Lamp-lighting ceremony, seemingly a satsang or public programme.
