Outdoor photograph of a temple courtyard with grey stone deity murtis, a Nandi bull statue garlanded with orange and white flowers on an orange plinth, and a tall copper kalasha-style pillar. A figure in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala walks barefoot across the sand past a fire pit ringed with stones, where a brass vessel sits on a mat. A man in white dhoti and shawl walks on the right near palm trees. Strings of mango leaves hang from a bamboo frame, with orange and multicoloured festival banners and kolam designs on the ground.

A photograph of an outdoor temple-like courtyard with reddish-brown earth and a pale stone path running down the middle between rows of black stone deity murti set on red-and-white striped pedestals. Tall trees and leafy branches frame the scene. On the left, a black figure in white cloth stands beside other dark statues. Further back, a few people in white clothes walk and stand near a low structure with a white roof and red walls. A red cloth drapes one of the statues on the right. Overcast light falls evenly across the grounds.
