A figure in orange robes and an orange turban with a gold-bordered saffron shawl, wearing a multicolour flower garland, smiles while unveiling a dark plaque on a white stone block by pulling down a yellow-orange cloth. The plaque carries a small black-and-white portrait of a woman and Tamil inscription text. Around them, a crowd of men, women and boys in white shirts and mundus watches, with an older man in glasses pressing his palms together in a namaskar. A woven rug with pink, blue and white geometric patterns covers the ground; banana leaves and a white building wall frame the scene. Swamiji (probable): the orange turban, saffron robes, flower garland and orange shawl fit the Swamiji candidate; this is a sannyasi role unveiling the plaque.
