In the open courtyard, a crowd of devotees moves about and gathers; several men wear white dhotis and shirts, women wear red, green and blue saris, and a few kneel on the paving near the front. A pale sky and a metal railing and roofed shelter appear at the left edge. No single person can be clearly identified as the a person from appearance, and the scene shows an ordinary temple gathering.2006-09-24A dense crowd fills a temple courtyard under an overcast sky during a procession. Devotees in white dhotis and shirts, saffron-garbed men, and women in bright saris and blue, red and yellow dresses, many with jasmine flowers in their hair, walk and stand among market stalls with blue tarpaulins.

No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible among the crowd.2006-10-26October 12 20122012-10-12
