In the foreground at left, a young man in an orange-red robe with a white tilak on his forehead and a gold chain holds a tray of flowers and offerings.

Three people stand near it: a figure in long flowing orange robes with long dark hair walks away from the camera on the left, a man in orange robes with a rudraksha-style beaded necklace holds a small metal bowl in the centre-right, and a shaved-headed man in orange and yellow cloth with white tilak stands on the right. Behind them are long pink-trimmed colonnaded corridors and palm trees under a pale sky.2012-10-12Outdoors in a stone-paved temple courtyard beside a tall pink temple wall, a man with long swept-back dark hair and a white tilak wears saffron-orange robes, a rudraksha-style gold bead necklace and a saffron shawl. He holds a small silver bowl while a younger shaved-headed attendant in orange robes and beaded garland bends forward to offer or take it. Behind them a crowd of white-clad devotees, men in white dhotis and women in orange saris, stands with hands folded. A black stone pedestal with carved lion-like figure sits at right beneath a thatched shade, and a leopard-print mat lies on the stone floor.2012-10-12July 24 20122012-07-24Outdoor photo of a group walking through a stone temple courtyard with carved pillars and sculpted stone walls on the left. In the centre, a man with long dark hair and a golden crown-like headband wears a saffron-orange shawl over his shoulders, a long rudraksha mala, and a white ceremonial necklace, with one arm extended.
