Outdoor photo at a South Indian temple gopuram covered in tiered carved sculptures, with a dark stone doorway at its base. A group in saffron and orange robes walks down the steps toward the camera. A bald man in orange dhoti and shawl with a marigold garland smiles and gestures with his raised hand. Beside him a man in a saffron-orange robe wears a rudraksha-style garland and a sash. Several women in purple and maroon saris and a boy in a red and white outfit stand nearby among onlookers. Other devotees in white and red clothing are visible in the background.

Several monks with shaved heads wear orange dhotis and orange shawls, with gold-coloured necklaces and beaded malas; one leads with hands folded. Two women in orange saris walk behind, and a man in a teal shirt stands at the left. A brass grille with gold-tinted scrollwork lines the right side, and a carved stone pillar marks the left. The scene reads as a temple visit with devotees in ascetic dress.2012-10-12September 12 20122012-09-12Outdoor procession in front of a carved stone temple gopuram with tiers of sculpted figures and a dark doorway. Several saffron-robed men walk across a stone courtyard under bright orange umbrellas. The central figure in a saffron dhoti with a gold necklace and rudraksha mala walks at the front, with a shaved head, and a younger man in saffron to his left wears a flower garland on his head. A man in orange holds up an orange umbrella above the group at left. Men in white shirts and white dhotis, some with rudraksha malas, walk around the saffron-clad group, and an older man in a pink shirt stands at the right edge. Bright daylight and clear sky. The central figure is a possible candidate, but his appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm identity.2012-05-07September 12 20122012-09-12September 12 20122012-09-12A group of devotees in saffron and orange robes walks outdoors toward a towering whitewashed gopuram of a South Indian temple, its tiers covered with carved sculptures.

In the centre, a woman in an orange sari with a long gold necklace carries a small object, and a shaved-headed man in an orange dhoti and shawl with rudraksha beads walks beside her. Other devotees wear orange robes and white dhotis, and a man in a white shirt walks at right with a young child in red. A loudspeaker sits on the roof of the hall. The scene suggests a temple procession with devotees in saffron.2012-09-12
