A saffron-robed man walks along a sandy path among large grey stone deity sculptures in an outdoor yard lined with palm and banana trees. He wears an orange cloth wrap over his shoulder and matching orange garment, with white-clad men and a few onlookers nearby. Several seated and standing stone murtis, including a multi-armed figure and a figure holding a trident-like staff, stand on carved pedestals. A bearded man in a white dhoti and a man in a blue shirt stand at the edges. The scene suggests temple sculpture work or a sculpture yard.2010-01-03Outdoor scene at an ashram grounds with a large grey stone statue of a standing deity figure with a club-like staff, bare-chested with beaded bands on arms and ankles, and a small kneeling figure beside it. Three men in saffron-orange robes stand in conversation in front of the statue: on the left a bearded man with long hair, in the centre an older bald man with glasses, and on the right a man with long dark hair wearing a sleeveless saffron garment and a dark beaded necklace. Behind them a man in white robes stands at the left edge and several onlookers are in the background. A coconut palm, a stone naga hood sculpture and a banner reading Nithya Annadhaanam are visible. The right-hand man has long swept-back hair and a dark beaded necklace, a person candidate, but the appearance is not conclusive. Four people are in the scene.2009-12-30April 2008 - Making Of Kailaasa In TiruvannamalaiNovember 10 20112011-11-10December 24 20082008-12-24Outdoor photo at a construction site with reddish-brown earth beside a thatched-roof shed.

In the centre a large grey stone sculpture of a seated multi-armed deity with a consort stands on a plinth, beside smaller carved stone bases and a pale bench. In the foreground a man in an orange-saffron robe walks past, looking down, with a shaved-head appearance and a wrap draped over his shoulders.

Several people sit cross-legged in white clothing on the sandy ground inside circular stone-ringed rangoli-style patterns, with faint smoke rising around them. One woman on the left wears an orange-red sari, another seated woman wears a red shawl over white, and others wear white with yellow or saffron wraps. A tall dark statue of a standing figure holding a staff stands at right. The scene suggests a group puja or homa-style sitting, though no fire pit is clearly visible. Four people are clearly visible seated in front, with several more partially visible at the edges, so the count is in the low-double digits.2010-06-27January 14 20102010-01-14Outdoor scene at a construction yard with reddish-brown earth, a thatched-roof shelter on the left, and palm and tree foliage behind. Rows of carved stone pieces lie on the ground in the foreground, including elongated carved stone elements and round lidded stone forms. A group of about twenty men in white shirts and white or grey trousers stand around. A man in a saffron-orange robe with long dark hair stands at center, and beside him a man in a green dhoti and shawl gestures with a raised hand toward the stones. Another man in white with an orange shawl holds an orange bag at the right. The whole group appears to be inspecting the stonework.April 2008 - Making Of Kailaasa In Tiruvannamalai
