A photograph of a projection screen showing a colour image of a temple complex with a tall gilded shikhara-style tower rising above a long stone wall with crenellated top. Beneath a pale blue sky, a group of about eight people in white, blue, yellow and red garments walk across a sandy courtyard past an arched colonnade. A blue canopy is visible on the roof edge. The screen is framed in a dark room, showing a projected slide rather than live people.

A tall white gopuram tower rises behind a colonnaded pink-and-grey hall, with palm trees and a hill beyond. In the foreground, a group of about twenty people walk in a line. Several men in white dhoti and shirt walk beside saffron-robed figures wearing orange cloth and rudraksha malas; one bare-chested man carries a saffron wrap and orange garment. Women in green and white saris walk among them.

In front, a man in white dhoti carries a pink-wrapped object, and several men in saffron and orange robes walk barefoot, one holding a garland of flowers. A man in white shirt and dark trousers walks among them. Behind them, a larger crowd of devotees in white and coloured saris and dhotis follows.

Several men in white dhoti and shirt and women in white saris lead the group, with a line of saffron-robed sannyasis in orange cloth walking in the middle; one shaven-headed monk is bare-chested with an orange wrap. Stone bull-like figures sit atop the wall, and a hill and temple gopuram appear at left. A visible figure in orange with a bare upper body stands out in the centre; the appearance-based cues for a person candidate are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so this is unsure.2011-09-09September 09 20112011-09-09A procession moves along a stone-pillared colonnade of a South Indian temple, with a mountain rising behind the roofline under a pale blue sky. Many men in white dhotis and shirts walk in a long line on the left, several wearing orange or saffron cloths. Two bare-chested men in white dhotis walk near the centre, one holding a bag, and a man in a red shirt stands among others beside the pillars. Decorated grey granite columns carry carved figures, and colourful rangoli kolams decorate the paving. A street lamp and power lines run overhead. No figure can be identified as a person from appearance, so no candidate is marked.2007-01-12A group of men walks across a stone-paved temple courtyard toward a temple gateway with arched pillars and a colourful decorated door. A hill rises behind a tall temple tower, and a long brick wall runs along the right side. Most of the walkers wear white dhotis and white shirts or cloths, with gold-bordered white veshtis. Two men in front wear saffron/orange sannyasi robes, one bald and the other with a shaved head, and one carries a shoulder bag. A man in a dark shirt and a man in a pink shirt stand among the group. Several walkers hold plastic carrier bags and a green garland.
