A dim, open-sided temple hall at night, lit by strings of red, blue, purple and green fairy lights wrapped around stone pillars. At the centre stands a golden deity murti or shrine on a raised platform, with a brass lamp stand and a tall brass oil lamp in the foreground. Smoke or incense haze rises near a small fire or lamp on the left, and wooden benches line the edges. No people are visible in the scene.2016-01-01January 01 20162016-01-01January 01 20162016-01-01Night photo of a temple courtyard with gold-painted pillars carved with a dancing Shiva figure and a lion-like sculpture. Banana plants with yellow flower garlands line a path covered with a striped pink, red and green cloth. Small red offering trays sit on the paved floor, and a microphone stands near a raised platform with a gold-coloured seated figure and a dark incense-like smoke rising. A red, black and gold banner with a white bird emblem hangs on the right.

A round basin or fire pit sits on the floor in the centre, with a small dark structure beyond it. No clearly identifiable people are visible; a faint figure may be present near the left doorway but is not distinct. The setting suggests a night-time festive decoration at an ashram or temple hall.2016-01-01October 18 20172017-10-18Interior ceiling of an open-sided pavilion with terracotta roof tiles and dark wooden rafters, hung with many brass bells strung on cords, interspersed with mango or banana-like green leaves and warm fairy lights, purple and white bulbs.
