A man in saffron-orange draped robes with yellow borders walks barefoot across sandy ground beside a black stone statue of a seated sage with raised hand. He wears a white forehead mark with red centre, long swept-back hair, rudraksha and bead malas, a gold pendant necklace, gold armlets and bangles. Behind him are a grey stone deity statue and an orange wall. A red-and-white painted pedestal bears the Tamil word for Pooram and a white flower sits on the statue base. The man has long swept-back hair, rudraksha and bead malas, and a gold pendant necklace, with an orange robe; these cues support Swamiji (probable) as a sannyasi walking past the statue.
