January 16 20182018-01-16 +1 copiesOutdoor photograph of a dusty red-earth courtyard at a temple complex with a wooded hill behind. Two saffron-robed figures walk through the open ground, one in orange with a bare chest and shaved head wearing a dark cloth, the other in a saffron robe with a white cloth over the shoulders. A white-clad person stands near a parked silver SUV at right. Rows of dark stone deity murti and small shrines sit along a red-and-white striped low wall toward a red-roofed hall. Trees and a flagpole frame the scene, and an ornate carved stone archway stands at left.2011-10-09A dusty reddish-earth courtyard in a temple or ashram grounds, with a low hill covered in green trees behind it. Two people in saffron-orange robes walk across the open ground: one in front wears a dark orange garment and carries a bundle, the other in lighter orange carries a small object in hand. Trees, a small red-roofed building with white pillars, rows of stone sculptures or murtis along a red-and-white bordered platform, a silver SUV parked at right, and a carved stone arch at left frame the scene.2011-10-09February 03 20172017-02-03A wide outdoor scene on a paved plaza in front of a forested hill with rocky outcrops, under a hazy sky. Several people in saffron and orange robes walk across the pavement, some in pink and orange dhotis and sashes. Palm trees, shrubs and a white railing line the area, and a yellow-and-white bus is partly visible at left. A man in a green shirt stands at left, and a woman sits on the ground near the bus. Devotees in ochre and pink clothing move through the open ground.2017-02-05October 09 20112011-10-09October 25 20062006-10-25A wide photograph of a dry, sandy open ground with a forested hill rising on the left, topped by rocky outcrops, and a tall flagpole with an orange flag near a row of white-and-red painted low fences and small structures. Three people walk across the right side of the sand: two women in orange saris, one holding an orange umbrella overhead, and a third person in white clothing at the right edge, partly cut off. Dense green trees line the far right under a pale sky.2010-01-18 +1 copiesA dusty unpaved path between rust-red shipping containers at an ashram compound, with a forested hill rising behind. A group of about twenty people walks along the path. Two men in saffron-orange robes lead, one carrying a bright orange cloth bundle, with several white-clad devotees and women in sarees following. Rows of white-capped items line a low brick-and-white kerb on the left. A tall street lamp stands by the container shelter with a white canopy roof. No readable portrait or caption identifies anyone, and the walkers' faces are too small to judge reliably.2011-12-08Outdoor photo of a hilltop-backed ashram compound with a bare rocky hill rising behind red-and-white striped platforms. Several people in saffron and orange robes sit and stand on the raised platform near a parked orange truck, while others in white and orange clothing gather at the right beside a canopy and brass vessels, and several figures in white stand at the left by a white car. Brass pots and offering plates sit on the ground in the foreground near a sapling and a tree at left. The page refers to Thiruvannamalai and Arunachala, but the hill is not itself a named landmark here, and the ritual is not identifiable from the image alone.2017-03-11Outdoor photograph of a bearded man in a rust-orange sannyasi wrap and long rudraksha mala walking barefoot along a concrete path toward a blue-grey lamp stand with a shallow bowl. Behind him, a line of stacked rust-red shipping containers under a corrugated roof sits beside a white car and a red boundary wall, with wooded hills rising behind. Two younger men in saffron-orange robes stand at left, one wearing a beaded necklace, and a white-clad man is partly visible at the edge. A robed figure stands in the distance near the wall. Swamiji (probable): the walking man has long hair, a flowing beard and a long rudraksha mala, consistent with the page's description of his arrival at the Tiruvannamalai adheenam.2017-02-03A photograph of an open dirt site beside a large dense tree, where a foundation pit has been dug for a temple's garbha mandir. Mounds of excavated soil lie along the back. Four people stand near the pit edge: three in white dhotis and white upper cloths and one in an orange robe on the right, with a child at the pit edge. Two small figures near the excavation are workers. A red-and-white striped boundary wall, a small shrine with a painted figure, and a set of concrete steps frame the site under an overcast sky.2006-10-25
