A photograph of a tall, whitewashed gopuram temple tower covered in tiers of carved sculptures, seen from below through a dark stone gateway. In front, a group of about a dozen people walks down the temple steps: a man in a pale green shirt and white dhoti, a bare-chested man in a white shawl, several men and women in orange and saffron robes, and an older man in white shirt and dhoti. An orange umbrella is held over part of the group. Palm fronds and a blue sky frame the scene.

Several saffron-robed men walk across a stone courtyard under bright orange umbrellas. The central figure in a saffron dhoti with a gold necklace and rudraksha mala walks at the front, with a shaved head, and a younger man in saffron to his left wears a flower garland on his head. A man in orange holds up an orange umbrella above the group at left. Men in white shirts and white dhotis, some with rudraksha malas, walk around the saffron-clad group, and an older man in a pink shirt stands at the right edge. Bright daylight and clear sky. The central figure is a possible candidate, but his appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm identity.2012-05-07
