A crowd of roughly ten people gathers around an orange-robed sannyasi with long dark hair and a crown-less head, wearing a rudraksha mala, who holds a small cloth and a white item. Nearby a younger orange-robed monk in saffron clothing and a wristwatch holds an orange cloth and a plush toy. Men in white shirts and dhotis, one with a red-orange garland, stand around them, and a photographer with a camera stands in the doorway behind. A small framed picture hangs on the left wall.

A wall clock, blue Tamil signs reading 'அரங்காவலர்கள்' and 'இணை ஆணையர்/செயல் அலுவலர்', and a framed picture are visible. Appearance-based candidate: a person in the orange-clad figure with long hair?

In the centre, a long-haired man with a white vibhuti band and red bindi, wearing a red and green flower garland, gold necklace, and bare-chested orange cloth with rudraksha beads, walks forward smiling.
