A large crowd of villagers stands outdoors on a dusty ground under a bright sky with palm trees. Many women wear colourful saris in green, purple, teal and pink, while men wear white shirts, lungis and striped shirts. Some people stand closely packed in the foreground, and a temple gopuram with painted deity figures rises in the background beside a small roadside building. Several cars and a yellow auto-rickshaw are parked nearby. No central figure is clearly distinguishable among the crowd.

A large outdoor crowd of villagers gathers on a dirt road in front of a small temple with a colourful gopuram-style tower and palm trees. Many people stand shoulder to shoulder, mostly men in white shirts and lungis, women in saris in green, purple and blue, and children in yellow and striped shirts. Parked white vans and SUVs line the roadside, and a yellow auto-rickshaw is visible at left. No individual is identifiable as a person in the scene, and no ritual activity is clearly visible.2012-01-03January 03 20122012-01-03January 03 20122012-01-03November 25 20092009-11-25January 03 20122012-01-03January 03 20122012-01-03January 03 20122012-01-03January 03 20122012-01-03January 03 20122012-01-03January 03 20122012-01-03A large outdoor crowd gathers on a dusty village street lined with palm trees, low tiled-roof houses and parked white vans and cars. In the foreground a man in a white shirt and white dhoti, with a dark rudraksha-style mala, reaches out with his arm extended toward the crowd, while others around him in white and pale clothes lean forward. Elderly women in saris, one in an orange blouse bending low, and men in shirts press close. Scattered flower petals lie on the ground. Behind them a partly built temple gopuram scaffolding rises above the rooftops. No single figure is clearly identifiable as the swami from appearance alone, so the central presence is described by role only.2012-01-03November 27 20122012-11-27
