A photograph of an open dusty ground at the foot of a brown, scrub-covered hill under a partly cloudy blue sky. Rows of red and cream plastic chairs are set out on the left and right, facing a small ornate stage with a red-draped base and a gold-trimmed canopy, with a backdrop in the centre. A white sign with a red border and Tamil text points the way to the 1008 Ananda Lingam. A few people in white shirts and dhotis, and some women in saris, walk across the ground. Tall lamp posts line the path.
