Night photograph of a temple tank or pond with dark water reflecting light. A metal staircase with railings rises on the left toward a small structure with a lit panel, and a floating platform with red and white striped edging sits in the water. On the right, a small shrine area is lit with a glowing arched frame containing a deity murti, with a lamp or offering in front and a figure seated near the platform. Tiered seating stretches along the far bank. Two or three people are faintly visible near the shrine.

Night photograph of a large dark stone Shiva lingam on a raised square platform, reached by a metal ladder and rope railing, set in water at the edge of a stepped seating area. Strings of small red and orange lamps run along the stepped rows and fence above, and a few small lamps are visible on the steps. Garlands hang on the lingam's base. Two small figures in pale clothing are faintly visible on the steps, too small and indistinct to be identified, and no a person candidate can be confirmed.

A night photograph of a large black stone Shivalingam rising from a circular yoni-peetha base in a shallow water tank, lit by two bright floodlights on poles at the back. Stone steps with white metal railings on the left lead up to a raised platform where several people in white clothes stand, and one figure in saffron-orange robes stands among them. Tiers of terracotta-coloured pots and green plants line the far bank, and the water reflects the lights and the lingam.

Night photo of a large dark grey stone Shiva lingam standing on a square platform in dark water, reached by a metal staircase on the left. Behind it, a small illuminated shrine holds a lit deity murti framed by bright lamps and garlands. A tiered wall lined with many small clay lamps runs along the back of the scene. No people are visible.

Night photograph of a temple tank. A large dark stone Shivalinga stands at the left edge beside a steel staircase railing, its surface marked with a small white band. In the centre, a small illuminated deity murti sits on a raised platform floating in the still black water, lit by bright white lights. Tiered brick walls and railed steps line the far side under a dark sky. No people are visible.

Night photograph of a large dark reservoir or tank with still water and stone steps on both sides. A bright floodlight on a metal stairway illuminates a red and white striped platform in the water, where one small figure stands holding a lit oil lamp or flame. Dark stone structures and a fence sit in the background. Lighting is harsh and the scene is largely dark.

Night photograph of a temple tank with dark water reflecting lights. A large black lingam stands on a raised platform in the water, reached by a metal staircase railing, decorated with yellow garlands draped around its base. Stone steps and a wall of terracotta pots line the bank on the right, and a lit multi-storey building stands behind on the left. A figure in orange robes stands on the left bank near the water's edge. No clearly identifiable a person is visible.

Night photograph of a large black stone Shivalinga rising from a circular stone yoni-pitha platform in a dark reflecting pool. Metal stairs with railings lead up to the platform, where several men in white dhotis and shawls stand near the lingam, one wearing an orange-saffron garment. Bright floodlights and terraced hillside with rows of potted plants surround the scene, and the water reflects the lingam and figures.
