To the right, a stone shrine wall has a blue-framed barred window with colourful cloth draped inside, and a green sign with printed text on the wall.

Five men walk together on a paved pedestrian walkway. The central figure wears a flowing saffron-orange robe, multiple rudraksha malas and ornate gold-toned adornments, with long swept-back hair; he is in conversation with the man to his left, and the case for an appearance-based a person candidate is plausible but uncertain. To his left, a man in orange with a rudraksha mala holds a long metal staff. Two men in white kurta-style or dhoti clothing, one carrying a small silver rod, walk barefoot beside them. A white-shirted man in khaki trousers walks at the far left, and a child in pink and green stands at the right edge.2012-04-11 +1 copiesApril 05 20122012-04-05May 29 20152015-05-29April 05 20122012-04-05Night procession of devotees walking along a road past a brightly painted South Indian temple gateway with a multi-tiered gopuram, lit by street light.
