A grey pigeon stands on a pale concrete courtyard in the foreground, with cracks in the floor and small footprint marks nearby. In the background, a shaven-headed man in an orange-saffron cloth with a rudraksha mala sits beside a red-orange pedestal bearing a black stone linga garlanded with flowers. Two tall decorative cloth streamers in red, blue and yellow hang from a pole, with palm trees, a small white building and a fence behind.

A grey pigeon walks across a pale concrete courtyard toward the camera. Behind it, a man in an orange robe stands near an orange-and-white tiered stone platform topped with a dark stone Nandi-like figure draped in yellow and black garland. Tall palm trees, hanging red-and-white decorative bunting, and small shrines sit in the background. A dark blurred figure occupies the right foreground edge.2010-11-16November 16 20102010-11-16A pigeon walks across a pale concrete platform in the foreground, its shadow cast forward in low golden sunlight. Behind it, a figure in a flowing orange robe stands beside a white stepped pedestal with a tall dark ornamental pillar or lamp stand, backlit against bright sky and tall palm trees. Smoke or incense haze drifts near a second, smaller figure at left, and a white raised platform edge sits at the left edge. The scene feels like an early-morning or evening outdoor ashram courtyard with a palm grove. Only the orange-robed figure is clearly a person; the other forms are too silhouetted to count.2010-08-10 +1 copiesNovember 20 20102010-11-20November 20 20102010-11-20A low-angle outdoor photograph of a temple courtyard under a corrugated roof decorated with hanging striped tassels and small red-and-yellow pennants.

Palm trees, a silver SUV, a small shrine with an orange-clad deity image, and a few people in white clothing stand in the background.

Dark stone deity murti stand on pedestals nearby, palm trees rise behind, a silver SUV is parked at left, and two colourful ceremonial banners hang from a metal pole at top. A blue cord and woven mat lie on the ground.
