Night photo at a white stone temple with ornate carved tower and lit doorway, lit warmly from within. In the foreground, a man in white kurta stands at left, looking toward the temple. Two people in orange robes stand near the centre, one with long dark hair facing the temple, another in orange further right beside a figure in white. At far right, a person in yellow-orange shawl with a maroon border stands with others in white. Palm fronds hang at the upper left. Appearance-based candidate: a person in orange robes with long dark hair may be a person but the face and build cannot be confirmed, so a person is unsure. Visible people are about six.

Night photograph of an open courtyard at a whitewashed building with an open doorway lit from inside. A man in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl walks barefoot across the concrete floor toward a stone shrine-altar on the right, where a small pot and lit lamp sit. Around him, people in white clothes with orange shawls stand near the doorway and along the wall. A camera operator in white with an orange shawl films from the right edge. Brass oil lamps and ritual vessels are arranged on a striped cloth at the left. Whether the saffron-clad man is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance here, so the role is given as a devotee in saffron.

A photograph taken at night of a carved grey stone shrine structure with pillars and relief panels, under lamplight. On the raised platform, a figure with long dark hair wears a bright orange shawl over an orange-and-gold garment, arms folded, standing beside a set of stone steps. Nearby, a man in white dhoti and shirt, a younger man in orange shawl over white, and another man in orange-and-yellow shawl stand together talking. A man in a blue-and-white striped shirt stands with hands on hips. In the foreground, a man in white kneels or bends over ground work, and another in white dhoti stands near a steel cup and wooden plank. Several other men in white clothing are partly visible at the edges, and there is a visible timestamp reading 23 and 01:14 on the image.

Night-time photograph outside a stone temple structure with carved granite pillars and a red cloth hanging. A bald man in a deep orange-red robe stands at a granite ledge with his palms pressed together in namaskar, facing brass ritual items including a bell, a plate and a small cup. Beside him, a smiling man in orange robes with long swept-back dark hair stands with hands joined, and another orange-robed man with a red vertical mark on his forehead also presses palms together. A man in white clothes stands behind them. On the far left, a figure in orange clothing claps. A colourful umbrella with tassels stands at the left edge, and a dark board listing donor names is mounted on a wall behind them.

Photograph of a stone staircase leading up toward a white temple gateway with a tiered gopuram-style top, framed by tall trees at dusk. Several people stand and walk on the steps and terrace. In the foreground a man in white dhoti with a yellow shawl walks away from the camera. A man in saffron-orange robes stands on the left of the stairs, and another man in orange robes and orange dhoti stands on the right beside a woman in white with a yellow border. A small boy in a light blue shirt stands at the left edge. Marigold-style garlands hang on the gateway pillars.

Night-time photo of a stone-paved courtyard beside a carved stone pillar and a brass oil lamp on the left. A man in white dhoti and shawl, with a white headcloth, stands centre-left holding hands with a young child in white. Beside them a woman in a yellow-orange sari and another woman in orange robes stand close. A large crowd of men in white with orange shawls and cloth stands behind on a raised platform. Plain brick wall on the right.

A blurred indoor photograph of a temple-style hall with white pillars and painted, colourful striped columns. Four people in saffron-orange robes stand in a row facing right, one wearing a maroon blouse under an orange sari, while a man in white kurta and white dhoti stands at right beside a cushioned seat with a brass plate and a garland of white and red flowers. Under the lights, the scene looks like a pre-event visit or preparation.

Night photograph of a courtyard beside a white temple-style building with a lit doorway and ornate roof. Four people in saffron-orange robes walk along a paved path toward the entrance; one woman in an orange sari with a maroon blouse walks at the back. The nearest figure has a shaved head, and the others wear saffron garments. Beside the path are shallow rectangular water basins with lily pads, a raised stone ledge holding potted flowering plants, and palms along the edge. Several other people appear partially at the left edge. No visible printed name or caption identifies the figures, and the presentation of the people shown does not establish a person identity.

Night procession of devotees walking barefoot along a stone-paved temple path beside carved granite pillars and walls, lit by a green-white street lamp. Men in white dhotis and orange shawls lead, some in saffron robes and rudraksha malas. A woman in an orange shawl walks at right, another in a maroon sari behind. A man in white with an orange shawl gestures toward the lamp at center. Dark gopuram silhouette in the background.
