Devotees crowd a narrow corrugated-metal shelter with yellow railings. A man in a saffron-orange robe with a red-tinged shawl sits on a concrete ledge, smiling and raising his hands in greeting. Around him, men in white dhotis and bare-chested devotees with ash and red markings press forward, some with hands folded and one reaching out. A large printed portrait of a deity with blue skin, red-and-gold headdress and red garland is held at the lower left. A young man in an orange shirt stands at right. Several people are visible in white clothing and red markings.

A bearded man in a rust-orange robe and orange wrap sits on a concrete ledge, smiling and gesturing with one hand, with a red-saffron dhoti-clad man beside him. Around them, devotees in plain white dhotis and white shirts stand close, some with white cloth bundles and sacred white paste on their faces. A woman in an orange sari with a red-orange shawl and rudraksha-style beads stands behind them, and a figure in orange-red robes is at the right edge. Hands, phones and a crowd of onlookers fill the foreground. The seated bearded man's identity is not established from appearance, so no presenter is labelled.2018-01-04January 04 20182018-01-04Photo of a shelter with a corrugated metal roof and yellow railings, where devotees gather around a seated man in a rust-orange saffron robe with a bindi and a long beard.

A younger man in a saffron-orange cloth and glasses stands behind the seated figure, and a man in a black shirt with rudraksha beads is at the left edge.

In the lower centre, a bearded man with long dark hair wears a rust-orange robe, a gold necklace and a shawl-like wrap, hands pressed together in namaskar and a faint smile. Around him, several men in white dhotis and white shirts stand with palms joined, one with a rudraksha mala and bangles; a younger man in an orange cloth and glasses stands behind, and an older man in white is also present. A man at left has long dreadlocked hair, a white flower in it, and a red forehead mark. Printed text on a stone slab reads partly in Tamil and English. Visible people: about nine. The robed man is a candidate by his orange robe, gold necklace and long hair, but the appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm identity.2018-01-04
