Outdoor photo on a sandy path among tall palm trees and tropical plants. A figure in an orange sleeveless top and orange dhoti holds a bright orange umbrella over a person in an orange shawl wearing a red and orange garland. Behind them stand people in white kurta and dhoti, one with a yellow-green shawl holding a small book, and a woman in orange sari with hands together. A white-white-shirted man stands at left. In the foreground a row of carved white stone lion or yali figures lines the path, and a dark stone deity sculpture stands at left beside a stone basin.

Outdoor scene on a dirt path beside a bamboo fence and palm trees. A man in an orange robe holds a bright orange umbrella over a man in orange saffron robes, while a man in white dhoti and a yellow shawl stands nearby, and a woman in an orange sari stands at the right. A row of grey stone sculptures of seated figures, some with tall headdresses, sits on a stand along the path. A small thatched-roof hut with a blue sign is behind them.

Outdoors among rows of grey stone sculptures set against a red boundary wall, a man in saffron-orange robes with a long swept-back hairstyle and rudraksha mala walks along a dirt path while raising a bright orange umbrella overhead. Beside him a man in white dhoti and shirt with a rudraksha mala walks, and several women in orange sarees with rudraksha malas follow, along with people in white and yellow clothing. A cameraman with a video camera films at right. Carved deity murtis and figures sit on pedestals along the path.

A procession walks along a sandy path in front of a white building with the sign 'SRI ANANDESHWARA TEMPLE'. Men in saffron-orange dhotis and shawls walk in the centre, with the foremost figure in a long orange robe carrying a small deity murti. Behind them, men in white dhotis and orange shawls carry a decorated kalasha-style staff, two ceremonial parasols with colourful and white canopies, and several orange flags. A man in white with an orange shawl films the procession with a video camera at right. Palm trees, a parked silver SUV, and a crowd of onlookers in white stand in the background.

Outdoor photograph at a dusty construction-style compound with a white block wall and red-and-white posts. Two ornate multicoloured umbrellas with tasselled edges and gold finials are held above a group of about ten people in white ritual dress with orange shawls, some carrying trays and bags. In the centre, a bare-headed man in orange robes with long hair stands beside a sand mound. On the right, a bald, smiling figure in orange robes and a rudraksha mala stands on the sand, cues consistent with a sannyasi; the a person label applies only to this figure's distinctive orange-robed, mala-adorned presentation, with his identity not otherwise established. Parked silver cars and a shed are in the background.

Outdoor temple scene at a sandy courtyard. In the foreground a man in an orange saffron robe and floral garland of purple and white flowers walks past a large grey stone naga (cobra) sculpture with a hooded head. Beside him a second man in white dhoti and orange shawl wears a rudraksha-style necklace, and a third person in orange walks behind. Behind them, drummers and dancers in white and red costumes stand on a raised platform near a white pavilion with banners. Stone deity sculptures and a silver SUV are visible at the right. The orange-robed garlanded man shows no distinctive a person cues beyond saffron clothing and garland, so identity is uncertain.

Outdoor photograph of a procession walking along a dusty dirt path past rows of grey stone deity sculptures on the right. A woman in an orange-red sari holds a bright orange umbrella aloft over a white-robed figure beside her. A man in a yellow shirt and white dhoti/kurta-style clothing walks in the middle, with a white head cloth, and many devotees in white shirts and dhotis, including a woman in a white headscarf on the left, follow behind. Corrugated shelters and trees stand in the hazy background. Visible people number roughly 20 to 40.
