A photograph of an outdoor shrine in Tamil Nadu. A man in orange robes, wearing a long garland of white jasmine and green-fruit and red flower strands, holds a brass bell in one hand and a brass oil lamp in the other, a ritual of offering light. He is turned toward a white shrine structure draped with white jasmine garlands and orange cloth. Inside the niche is a statue of a seated figure in orange robes with an orange head cloth and rudraksha beads, hands raised in blessing, also garlanded with white jasmine and red flowers. A brass pot and a coconut sit in front of the statue, and white flower petals are scattered on the ground. Palm trees and greenery are behind the shrine.
