A photograph of a golden ratha-style shrine on a wooden platform outdoors, where a shirtless man in yellow dhoti and orange shawl leans in to anoint or adorn a golden murti of a seated deity with yellow garlands. A second man in white kurta-style dress holds a brass tray at the left edge, and a seated devotee in yellow clothes sits near brass vessels in the lower left. A large steel vessel stands at right beside a tall printed portrait of a smiling man in a white turban and dark blue embroidered silver-trimmed garment, captioned in Tamil. The shrine's pillars and sign above read the name of Anandeshwarar samedha Anandeshwari. This appears to be a procession or outdoor ritual stop, with a Tamil slogan on the portrait board.

Three men in white clothing and a fourth in a yellow dhoti and saffron-trimmed shawl pour liquid from steel vessels over the murti, with water streaming down. Steel pots sit on the platform, and orange flags stand at the corners. Two large printed portraits flank the shrine: on the right a smiling figure with a white turban wearing a blue robe, and on the left another smiling figure in orange-trimmed clothing. A caption on the right portrait reads a blessing phrase, and an illuminated sign above the shrine reads a temple name in Tamil.2006-10-28October 28 20062006-10-28October 28 20062006-10-28October 28 20062006-10-28October 28 20062006-10-28October 28 20062006-10-28October 28 20062006-10-28October 28 20062006-10-28October 28 20062006-10-28October 28 20062006-10-28
