A ceremonial scene at a Meenakshi Tirukalyanam event. A seated figure on a red velvet throne with gold-tipped armrests wears a rust-orange turban, rust-orange clothing with a gold border, a long red and white flower garland, a rudraksha-style red bead necklace and gold bangles, with eyes closed and hands held together in a gesture of greeting or prayer. Facing him from the left, a bare-shouldered priest in an orange-and-gold dhoti and shawl, with a sacred thread and a rudraksha mala, holds a small ornate object in his hands. Behind the throne are large garlands of yellow, red, white and green flowers. Swamiji (probable): the seated man's turban, ornate ceremonial clothing, rudraksha mala and gold necklace match the appearance cues for the Nithyananda Paramashivam candidate; the page identifies him as present at this event.
