A bare-chested man in orange garments with a leafy green garland and a ceremonial gold necklace stands at right, holding up a hand near the central man's face while another man in white applies or offers orange fruit. Several people in white ritual clothes have sacred ash marks on their foreheads, and one woman wears a red coral bead necklace. Behind them, onlookers, a man taking a photograph with a phone, and a small roadside temple structure with pillars and colourful gopuram-style decoration are visible. Orange fruit is held in hands in the foreground, and a stone ledge with scattered flower petals sits at left. The man in orange and gold cues are distinctive, but his face is partly turned and the scene is busy, so identity is uncertain.2011-01-16July 13 20092009-07-13
