In the centre, a man in an orange-saffron shawl stands with a red-and-white tilak on his forehead, surrounded by devotees. Around him, men in white dhotis and shirts, some with white caps, press close; to the right a bare-chested man wears a rudraksha mala and a white dhoti, and in the foreground a man in saffron robes and a white-clad man kneel. Printed signs and framed posters hang on the left wall in Tamil script. The person in the orange shawl is a sannyasi-style figure; appearance alone is not enough to name him.2008-01-02January 15 20092009-01-15December 29 20102010-12-29January 15 20092009-01-15April 05 20122012-04-05A dense crowd fills a stone-pillared temple hall, with smoke or incense haze drifting through the air. Several bald, saffron-robed monks stand in the foreground, one wearing an orange garment and gold necklace, with a green leafy garland held in the middle of the group. Men in white shirts and dhotis surround them, and a few people raise hands and cameras. Yellow signboards line the wall and a wooden ceiling frames the scene. A figure with long dark hair and a saffron wrap appears near the centre, a person candidate, though the faces cannot be clearly confirmed from this crowded view.2010-12-29December 29 20102010-12-29
