There's always someone starring, someone begging, someone selling and someone who wants to be helpful! At the incredible temple in Tiruvannamalai there were hundreds of pilgrims who have walked there from far flung places, women dressed in their finest saris to pay their respects to Shiva, and families galore. This huge temple has been totally restored in the last forty years and is the fifth largest in the world, preserving this important Hindu site for another thousand years. It's a privilege to visit such a sacred site and once I got my camera out, everyone wanted to have their photo taken. The four pilgrims by the gate were the keenest and were eagerly giving me instructions on how to take the best portrait. Eventually they agreed that a close up was the most trilling portrait ... Job done....
