A crowd of devotees gathers outside a whitewashed temple building in Tamil Nadu, with a tall multi-tiered gopuram covered in painted deity sculptures rising over the entrance. Men in white dhotis and shirts, women in sarees including a yellow salwar-style outfit and an orange-brown sari, and children stand close together on dusty ground. A woman in white with a flower garland stands at the front. On the right, a red banner shows a portrait of a figure in orange robes with a rudraksha mala, with Tamil text printed across it. Stone bull statues sit on the roofline and a small signboard is mounted on the wall.

Above the entrance rises a colourful gopuram with painted deity figures, including a central seated goddess flanked by attendants in blue and red. Inside the doorway, a figure in an orange-red robe stands at the threshold, partly obscured by the crowd; the page does not confirm the presence of a person, and appearance alone is insufficient to identify him. Most people wear white shirts, checked shirts and lungis. Two white bulls sit on the roof corners. Carved Tamil lettering runs along the facade.2009-02-02October 20 20062006-10-20February 15 20092009-02-15November 01 20062006-11-01August 03 20092009-08-03February 02 20092009-02-02
