A woman in a cream and yellow sari with a white vibhuti line on her forehead and a rudraksha mala around her neck stands with palms pressed together in namaskar, eyes lowered, beside a smoldering fire of dry leaves on bare earth. Behind her, a bamboo pole stands on concrete blocks, and a seated statue adorned with a garland sits on a red-draped platform under a red and colourful canopy, with a pink-covered table holding offerings in front of it. Green trees frame the courtyard, and the scene reads as a Pogipandigai ritual. A timestamp reads 14-Jan-2026 8:26:59 am Salem.
