A 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.

A woman in an orange-red sari and a white flower garland in her hair leans toward the car roof, and a bare-armed woman in a yellow sari with jasmine in her hair stands in the foreground. Palm trees, a string of small pennant flags and several temple spires stand behind the crowd on a sunny day.2009-02-15June 24 20142014-06-24November 25 20092009-11-25A 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.2012-01-03January 03 20122012-01-03Outdoor street scene beside a paved road with palm trees and low concrete buildings behind. A man in an orange-saffron garment with a heavy pink and white flower garland stands at an open car door, smiling and extending his arm toward a crowd. Around him, shaven-headed men in white dhotis with gold-bordered shawls and beaded rudraksha necklaces, and women in saris and gold necklaces, press in with hands raised in namaskar. A white van and a yellow bus are parked behind. Appearance-based cues on the garlanded man are limited, so his identity is unsure.2011-10-02
