Outdoor temple procession on a stone path under trees. A central man in a reddish-brown dhoti and shawl wears a long garland of red, yellow and pink flowers and a heavy gold necklace with a large pendant, walking barefoot along a striped cloth runner. Behind him, young men in saffron-orange robes with rudraksha malas carry silver and brass trays of flowers and offerings. A golden shrine with a deity murti stands in the background. A man in a yellow dhoti and tiger-striped top carries a tray; an orange-clad attendant walks at right. Several people have sacred ash marks on their foreheads. The central man has a distinctive ornate gold adornment and long hair, and the appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person, but it is not certain.2017-12-31June 07 20162016-06-07December 31 20172017-12-31 +1 copiesOctober 03 20162016-10-03December 31 20172017-12-31September 02 20172017-09-02A man in a maroon-brown robe stands on a wet stone pathway beside a large banyan tree with aerial roots. He wears a long multicolour flower garland of white, yellow, red and green blooms, a gold necklace with a large ornate pendant, and beaded rudraksha-style strands, with a tilak on his forehead. Several men in saffron-orange robes stand nearby, one at left holding a silver tray of pink and white flowers, another at centre with hands folded in namaskar. A sannyasi-style figure at centre-left also has hands pressed together. Potted plants and a stone platform surround the courtyard, with a small camera on a stand near the tree. Padapuja gathering context is suggested by the offerings and devotees in attendance.2017-09-02September 08 20152015-09-08A procession on a dusty path lined by a red-painted wall, with a red carpet runner down the centre. A central man wears a maroon-brown turban and dark-brown garment, with a pink-and-white flower garland and heavy gold necklaces and a gold waist belt, and is smiling as he walks. Around him, young attendants in saffron-orange dhotis and shawls carry a long bamboo pole and walk barefoot; several wear rudraksha malas and beaded necklaces, and one woman wears a crown-like headpiece. Another man in white walks behind. The scene suggests an arrival procession at a Tiruvannamalai Aadheenam event.2018-01-14June 07 20162016-06-07December 23 20162016-12-23April 21 20152015-04-21
