He left home for the temple town of Tiruvannamalai at the age of 16, and subsequently lived in a cave on the nearby sacred mountain of Arunachala. The following video contains rare archival footage of Sri Ramana Maharshi during his later years.

Largest Jagannatha Deities in the World Arrive at the Bhaktivedanta Ashram
This month the Bhaktivedanta Ashram was blessed with the arrival of our newly made deities of Lord Jagannatha, Baladeva, Subhadra and Sudarshana. For more than one year, work on these deities has been carrying on under the guidance of Puri temple priests, so that every detail of the process was done strictly according to the Puri tradition and the scriptures. The deities were made as exact replicas of the original deities in Puri, incorporating the traditional procedures undertaken for the navakalevara festival (the change of Lord Jagannatha's body held every 12 years in Puri). Work on the deities was carried out in Puri, next to the famous Jagannatha temple, in the courtyard where the Oriya saint Sri Jagannatha Das composed the Oriya Bhagavatam 500 years ago.
