A long-haired figure in the centre front wears a saffron robe with maroon borders and a long garland, smiling and walking forward. Behind them a crowd in white dhotis and kurtas, some with yellow shawls and rudraksha malas, follows down the steps. A stone Nandi bull statue sits at the left of the entrance, and an ornate carved stone gateway with sculptures rises behind.2010-01-08A group of people in saffron-orange robes descends a wide stone staircase in front of a towering gopuram of a temple, its tiers covered in white sculpted deities and figures. Several monks with shaved heads wear orange dhotis and orange shawls, with gold-coloured necklaces and beaded malas; one leads with hands folded. Two women in orange saris walk behind, and a man in a teal shirt stands at the left. A brass grille with gold-tinted scrollwork lines the right side, and a carved stone pillar marks the left. The scene reads as a temple visit with devotees in ascetic dress.2012-10-12August 06 20092009-08-06Several people in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas walk barefoot down the stone steps of a temple gateway, with a crowd of people in white dhotis and white shirts following behind, some wearing yellow shawls. On the left, a stone lion sculpture sits near the steps. A long-haired man in orange wears a crown-like red headpiece and a shawl, and another long-haired man in orange follows on the right, all carrying a sense of procession. Beside them is a pink single-storey building with wooden doors and a bamboo scaffold, and trees and an overcast sky sit beyond the courtyard.2010-01-08January 12 20072007-01-12December 04 2006 - Karthikai Deepam, Tiruvannamalai2006-12-04A procession walks along a dirt lane toward a tall, white, intricately carved gopuram temple tower with its arched entrance. In the centre a man with long swept-back dark hair, a white tilak on his forehead, a gold necklace and a rudraksha-style mala wears a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl and walks barefoot, with a crowd of saffron-clad devotees around him. Behind and beside him are shaved-headed men in orange garments with gold necklaces, a man in white kurta and white dhoti, and a woman in an orange sari with red border. On the right a bald man in orange holds a brass or gold kalasha-style vessel. Tarpaulin awnings and a red-and-white banner line the lane.2011-12-20October 12 20122012-10-12
