A photograph of a flat, dry, open landscape in Tamil Nadu under a pale, hazy sky. In the foreground stands a large green shrub with thin feathery branches and a dense thicket of thorny scrubby bushes beside it. Behind, sparse dry grass and bare earth stretch toward a line of palm trees and other tree canopies, with low hills faintly visible on the far left. No people, ritual objects or structures are visible.
