Outdoor crowd scene at a temple entrance in Tiruvannamalai. A smiling woman with a green and red flower garland and gold bangles and a man with a bowed head are at the centre, with a bare-headed devotee's hand on his head as if blessing him. A saffron-robed man with a rudraksha mala and gold chain stands behind them, with a bunch of bananas held in the foreground. Many devotees in white shirts and orange saffron shawls with tilak marks on their foreheads press close around them.
