Inside an ashram corridor, a smiling man with long swept-back dark hair, white vibhuti on his forehead and a red kumkum dot, wears an orange saffron cloth over a red undershirt and a heavy gold ceremonial necklace with a central gold pendant. He stands with eyes closed as a crowd of men in white shirts and orange sashes presses around him. To the right, a woman in a white sari with a dark border holds a folded peach towel. A blue sign with Tamil text is mounted on a wooden door frame, and a white ceiling with recessed lights overhead. Appearance-based cues are consistent with a person, shown in person, with the attendants around him.
