Outdoor temple courtyard under a canopy strung with triangular pennants and decorative hanging tassels. A man in a saffron-orange dhoti and matching shawl walks barefoot across a sandy floor marked with white kolam-style patterns and a circular stone base, with a long-haired figure in a saffron-orange garment and flower garland approaching. Another saffron-clad attendant with a flower garland holds a tray, and a cameraman in orange cloth films. A black Nandi-style bull statue sits on an orange pedestal beside a tall copper kalasha, and onlookers in white clothing stand in the background among palm trees and parked SUVs. Sunlight falls across the ground.

A barefoot person in orange saffron robes and a rudraksha mala walks along a woven mat toward a small circular fire pit with a brass vessel and an orange cushion. Behind them stand terracotta-coloured shrine platforms and rows of dark stone deity murtis on red-labelled plinths, with a tall orange ritual pillar garlanded with marigolds. The person is present in the scene; appearance cues include long dark hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads, so a person is plausible but the view is partial and from behind, so the identity is uncertain.2010-10-26A covered outdoor temple courtyard with a tin roof and palm trees. A bare-chested man with long dark hair stands at right in red-and-gold dhoti, hands folded in anjali, wearing a red-and-yellow marigold garland. Several saffron-robed sannyasis walk in a line toward a raised concrete platform with a square yagna pit, while a white-clad attendant stands nearby. At left, a golden vahana-like figure with a yellow cloth and floral garlands sits on steps. Kolam designs decorate the ground near a dhwaja flag pole.2015-09-08 +1 copies
