A small child in yellow stands near the steps. A grey pigeon is on the steps and another on the paved ground. Green shrubs and palm trees fill the background, and a notice board with Kannada text hangs on the wall.2010-07-03June 30 20102010-06-30October 03 20102010-10-03A photograph of a procession walking barefoot across a hexagonal paved courtyard past white kolam designs on the steps. In the centre, a figure with long dark hair wears an orange-saffron shawl and orange dhoti, walking with hands together. Around him, men and young boys in white kurtas and dhotis wear yellow and orange shawls, one with a rudraksha-style mala, and one older man on the left leans on a cane. On the right, men in white shirts and jeans stand with palms pressed together in namaskar, and a pair of pigeons rests near the steps. The central figure's long hair and saffron wrap are visible cues, so the appearance-based label applies.2010-07-08A photograph of a temple courtyard with red-and-white painted steps and walls.
