Night photograph of an outdoor stage event under a white canopy hung with rows of colourful triangular pennant flags. A banner behind the stage reads in Tamil script, and a white backdrop and a large white throne-like seat stand at centre. A figure in orange and red clothing sits near the centre of the stage, flanked by people in white clothes, and a musician with a stringed instrument is at right. Green and white floodlights light the scene, and a large crowd of mostly white-clad people fills the foreground, with many heads silhouetted against the stage. The swami figure appears in orange/red clothing, but the appearance is not certain enough to confirm identity.
