In the centre, a man with long dark hair wears a red-and-gold headband, white and red tilak markings, a thick gold-beaded necklace and an orange shawl with gold border, and he holds his hands folded in front of him. Beside him, a bald man in orange cloth stands bare-chested with a dark rudraksha mala and a gold necklace. To the left, a shaved-headed man in orange holds a yellow cloth bag printed with Tamil text. Men in white shirts and dhotis stand behind them, and a decorated pillar appears at the top. Probable Swamiji is the central man with long hair, identified by his crown-like headband, gold garlands and saffron clothing.
