A dense outdoor crowd of devotees gathers in front of a colourfully decorated temple gopuram with a painted deity figure, while banana leaves and strings of green leaves hang overhead. Many women in sarees in yellow, blue, purple and white stand with palms pressed together in prayer, some with vibhuti or kumkum on their foreheads. Men in white shirts and dhotis move among them, and a few hold flowers. Smoke rises from a fire in the background among trees. No single person is clearly identifiable as a person in this crowd.
