Large crowd of devotees seated on the ground in front of two tall white gopuram towers of a South Indian temple. Most people wear white clothing, men in white shirts and dhotis, women in saris of white, orange, teal and red. A stone pavilion with pillars stands in the middle, and a small shop signboard with Tamil lettering is at right. No individual can be confidently identified as a person from appearance in this image, so the crowd is described by role and attire.
