A smiling man stands barefoot on a wet granite courtyard in front of a white ornate gopuram temple tower in Tirumala. He wears a plain saffron-orange draped robe with a gold border and a red bindi on his forehead, hands clasped at his waist. Behind him, devotees walk in the courtyard: a woman in a magenta patterned sari with a shaved head, a girl in yellow, a man in a white dhoti, and a woman in a cream sari with gold border. Blue barricades and red-and-white striped poles line the walkway, and a blue-and-white canopy shades a shrine entrance.
