Outdoor temple courtyard at dusk with a stone floor decorated with coloured kolam lines in red and green. A long-haired figure in a gold-bordered yellow shawl over an orange robe, wearing a red and white beaded garland and a white forehead marking, bends forward toward a man lying prostrate face-down in a white garment on the ground. Standing around them are a young man in orange robes on the left, men in white dhotis and shirts, one with an orange shawl and a rudraksha-style pendant, and a smiling man in white on the right. Several onlookers in the background wear orange and white clothing. A purple-and-white logo appears at the upper left.2008-08-02December 04 2006 - Karthikai Deepam, Tiruvannamalai2006-12-04December 04 2006 - Karthikai Deepam, Tiruvannamalai2006-12-04A blurry nighttime photograph taken at ground level in a crowded temple passageway. A person in an orange-saffron cloth lies prostrate on the dark stone floor, arms and body stretched out, in a full-length prostration. Around them, legs and white and cream dhotis or robes of standing devotees fill the frame, with a few darker grey and green garments visible at the edges. Warm yellow light falls on the floor and fabrics, and a small scrap of paper lies on the ground. The prostrate figure's identity cannot be determined from the image, so no one is named.2006-12-04December 04 2006 - Karthikai Deepam, Tiruvannamalai2006-12-04August 17 20122012-08-17December 04 2006 - Karthikai Deepam, Tiruvannamalai2006-12-04December 04 2006 - Karthikai Deepam, Tiruvannamalai2006-12-04December 04 2006 - Karthikai Deepam, Tiruvannamalai2006-12-04A photograph of a devotee lying prostrate in full length on the stone floor of an outdoor temple area, arms stretched forward with palms pressed together.
