A central figure in a deep maroon robe wears a large yellow-and-orange marigold garland and stands in the middle of a group. Around him, devotees in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas walk alongside, one in an orange dhoti with white body markings holds a brass or metal ritual object, and women in saris and a man in a white shirt stand nearby. Children at left watch and gesture. The group is walking into the temple for a procession, with a red-and-white lit doorway and a sign board above the entrance.2017-02-07 +1 copiesAugust 01 2009 - Kalpataru, Thiruvanaikaval, India2009-08-01Night procession at a temple gateway with a stone entrance, tiled floor and a lit shrine visible inside. A central figure in a reddish-brown robe wears a long white and yellow flower garland and is walked through the doorway. Around him, several men and women in saffron-orange dhotis and garlands carry objects, one bare-chested man wears a sacred white ash marking and orange dhoti and folds his hands, and a woman in a white sari stands nearby. Children watch at left, and a foreign woman in orange with a garland stands at right. The scene appears to be a ritual welcome or procession. Whether the garlanded robed figure is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.2017-02-07Photograph of a carved stone temple gopuram and gateway at dusk, with a stone-walled compound to the right. Several people in white dhotis and shirts walk along the stone path and steps near the entrance. Toward the right, a figure in a saffron-orange robe walks with two men in white clothing, one holding a small object. The sky is overcast.

The man in the centre wears a long saffron-orange garment with a matching orange shawl and long dark hair, and carries a bag; he is flanked by men in white dhotis and white shirts, one in a white shirt and light trousers, and another in a white shirt with an orange shawl. Two white-clad men wear rudraksha-style beaded necklaces. The scene is a temple precinct with weathered stone architecture and stone pavers underfoot.2006-09-18February 17 20082008-02-17
