A man with long, swept-back dark hair walks barefoot across a green carpet in a hall, wearing a saffron-orange robe draped over the shoulders and a red undergarment visible at the neck. He wears a long rudraksha mala with a red tassel and a small red bindi on his forehead, and he smiles. Seated on the floor on both sides are rows of devotees, many wearing white head bands over their eyes, with some in white and blue clothing. A second man in orange kneels at the right edge. Behind them are a gilded ornate pavilion with a carved deity-like figure, ceiling fans, and a red banner with Tamil text. The appearance-based cues of long hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala match the page's identification, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) in person, leading the procession of seated devotees.
