A procession moves through the stone-pillared hall of a South Indian temple, with carved granite columns and lattice windows on either side. A man in a saffron-orange robe with a large marigold garland walks at the centre, holding his hands together in greeting, while a bare-chested man in a white dhoti walks ahead of him. Men in white dhotis and white shirts with orange shawls follow, and two drummers on the left beat large drums with sticks. A man in a white shirt and light trousers stands at the right foreground. Palm fronds and a gopuram tower are visible through the far doorway.

A photo inside a stone-pillared temple hall with a sandy floor and lattice windows. A central figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange head cloth, wearing a long garland of yellow-orange flowers, walks forward with hands folded, apparently in a procession. Around him, men in white shirts and white dhotis, some with orange shawls and neck pendants, walk alongside; a shirtless man in a white loincloth with a sacred thread and tilak walks in front. A drummer with a large drum appears at the left edge. The central figure's appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person, a probable identification based on saffron clothing, orange head cloth and garland, though that cannot be confirmed. Several people are visible, and a striped mat lies on the floor.2007-01-12August 02 20082008-08-02A photograph of a crowd walking through a stone temple colonnade with carved pillars and a dark doorway opening onto a distant courtyard.
