Garlands of green, red and yellow flowers hang near the top edge. The man has short dark hair and is smiling with eyes half closed; no appearance-based a person candidate is clearly established, so identity is unsure.2008-05-03September 24 20072007-09-24 +2 copiesJanuary 02 20172017-01-02A night photograph of a priest in saffron-orange robes performing aarti before a large stone Nandi bull statue. The priest, seen from behind and in side profile, holds a brass lamp with a bright flame raised toward the bull's head. The Nandi is draped with pink and red flower garlands and has a beaded necklace and decorated saddle cloth; its body is dusted with white powder. A yellow signboard with Tamil script stands behind, and the background is dark.
