A crowd of devotees gathers in an open courtyard in front of a whitewashed temple building with a thatched roof and a yellow-trimmed entrance. Women in saris, many in orange, red and yellow, stand with hands folded in namaskar, while men in white shirts and dhotis stand nearby. Some older women and young men in blue shirts are in the group. A brass lamp stand with a tall pillar is visible at the left edge. No identifiable a person candidate is clearly present, so the figures are described by role only.2009-08-03A photograph of a crowded temple courtyard with pale yellow colonnades and a gopuram-style entrance topped with painted sculptures on the left.

In the center, a man in a plain white dhoti and white shirt with a dark beaded mala and an ID badge walks barefoot across a bed of glowing embers, hands pressed together in prayer, as in a fire-walking rite. Behind him, a man in white clothes and a dark mala stands near the embers.
