An old woman sits on the sidewalk at the gates of the Meenakshi Amman temple, holding her hands out to the passersby in hope of a generous gesture. Her white hair shines in the sun, while her sun-kissed skin testifies to the years spent waiting for people who deign to stop and give her a few rupees. The wrinkles on her skin and the anxious look in her eyes reflect a difficult life journey. However, her colorful clothes, an explosion of life, contrast with her situation. Each coin given to her, she receives with gratitude and humility, offering a lesson in humility and determination.
