Behind them a crowd of devotees in white dhotis stands with palms joined beside a red-and-white painted ledge and a black speaker. Kolam-style white designs decorate the steps, and ash-colored fire pits with burnt wood sit in the background among palm trees and orange-walled buildings. The scene reads as a ritual procession toward a puja area. The man in front wears a saffron-orange garment, a mala and a red tilak, and his appearance is not clearly distinctive enough to confirm a person's presence, so the in-person value is unsure.2010-08-28A photograph of an outdoor courtyard entrance with a pink and white decorated facade and a lattice-screened wall behind.
