A procession moves along a stone-pillared colonnade of a South Indian temple, with a mountain rising behind the roofline under a pale blue sky. Many men in white dhotis and shirts walk in a long line on the left, several wearing orange or saffron cloths. Two bare-chested men in white dhotis walk near the centre, one holding a bag, and a man in a red shirt stands among others beside the pillars. Decorated grey granite columns carry carved figures, and colourful rangoli kolams decorate the paving. A street lamp and power lines run overhead. No figure can be identified as a person from appearance, so no candidate is marked.

Photograph of a long stone colonnade of a South Indian temple under a grey, cloudy sky, with ornate pillars and a barred wrought-iron railing along the walkway. On the left a carved gopuram-style structure with sculpted figures on its roof, and in the distance a white tower rises beside green hills. Several people walk along the stone pavement in the foreground, including women in saris and a man in a light shirt, and a few others are partly visible at the bottom edge.

A photograph of a wide stone-paved temple approach with a tall gopuram tower rising in the distance against a green hillside. Along the right, a long colonnaded hall with carved pillars. Crowds of people walk and stand on the path, many men in white dhotis and shirts, women in saris including a pink one and a teal one, and uniformed police officers in khaki along the edges. In the foreground a figure in an orange-saffron robe and wrap walks away from the camera. Small shrine structures stand at left with an orange flag on a pole.

A long queue of devotees stands along the outer wall of a temple complex, with a tall gopuram tower visible in the background against a hilly landscape and palm trees. In the foreground, a man in a white shirt and dark trousers walks away from the line, and a uniformed officer stands at the left edge. Many people in the queue wear light shirts, dhotis and saris, including a woman in an orange sari near the middle. A metal barrier and corrugated shelter line the right side.

A photo of a procession walking along a paved courtyard beside a long pink-topped stone wall with a corrugated roof awning and metal railings. Several men in white dhoti and shirt and women in white saris lead the group, with a line of saffron-robed sannyasis in orange cloth walking in the middle; one shaven-headed monk is bare-chested with an orange wrap. Stone bull-like figures sit atop the wall, and a hill and temple gopuram appear at left. A visible figure in orange with a bare upper body stands out in the centre; the appearance-based cues for a person candidate are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so this is unsure.

Photograph of a courtyard with a long pink colonnade of orange-and-white pillars behind a walking group. Six people walk across the paved court toward the left; one in a white dhoti and shirt leads, another in white at far left, and the others wear saffron orange robes, one with a beaded necklace. A small domed pavilion and a rocky hill rise in the background under a pale blue sky. Carved stone figures and kalasha-like finials sit atop the roofline.

A photograph of a procession walking along a paved stone path at a South Indian temple complex. A tall white gopuram tower rises behind a colonnaded pink-and-grey hall, with palm trees and a hill beyond. In the foreground, a group of about twenty people walk in a line. Several men in white dhoti and shirt walk beside saffron-robed figures wearing orange cloth and rudraksha malas; one bare-chested man carries a saffron wrap and orange garment. Women in green and white saris walk among them. Among the saffron-robed figures, one tall man with long hair and an orange robe walks at the centre of the group.
