Marigold and yellow garlands hang in swags from the ceiling, with strings of small electric lights and bright floodlights overhead. Oil lamps line the metal railing on the left. Men in white shirts and light trousers stand in the foreground, and a man in a striped shirt with a camera bag faces away from the lens. On the right, a large metal vessel and a brass lamp sit near the crowd. No individual can be confidently identified as a person from appearance, so no candidate is named.2006-12-04December 04 2006 - Karthikai Deepam, Tiruvannamalai2006-12-04December 04 2006 - Karthikai Deepam, Tiruvannamalai2006-12-04December 04 2006 - Karthikai Deepam, Tiruvannamalai2006-12-04Night photograph inside a temple corridor decorated with long swags of yellow and maroon marigold garlands strung across the ceiling. In the foreground two uniformed police officers in khaki shirts and peaked caps stand guard, one facing the camera and one with his back turned. Behind them a crowd of devotees moves through the hall, including men in white dhotis and shirts. Further back a figure in white with an orange-and-saffron shawl walks toward the inner sanctum, and a metal railing lines the right side with people in purple and yellow saris beyond it. Bright lights illuminate the marigold festoons.2006-12-04December 04 2006 - Karthikai Deepam, Tiruvannamalai2006-12-04December 04 2006 - Karthikai Deepam, Tiruvannamalai2006-12-04
