A photograph of an empty whitewashed wall beside a covered walkway, decorated with small painted animal-face cutouts of a rabbit, a lion and a cat, plus a few small red and pink hanging toys and a tiny wall-mounted figurine. Orange and brown fabric covers hang from the ceiling above, a red and white striped pillar and steps lead to a white building at right, and a green tree stands outside. A small sign with blue lettering is mounted on the white wall at right. No people are visible.

A photograph of a plain white-washed wall in a covered corridor with a concrete floor. Small cartoon animal face stickers (a dog, a cat, a tiger-like face) are stuck low on the wall, and a small blue sign hangs left of centre. A framed collage of photographs hangs at upper right, and an orange-coloured wall box sits near the top. A small window with a white frame is on the right, and a few small red dots mark the wall above the sign. No people are visible.

A photograph of a whitewashed building wall with a covered walkway. Small painted cartoon animal faces (a dog, a cat, a rabbit) are stuck on the wall at low height, and a few small red and yellow decorative items are clustered above them. A framed photo collage hangs high on the right, and a blue sign with Kannada text sits on the left. An orange-covered wall fixture is visible near the top. No people are visible.

A photograph of a temple courtyard with white-washed walls, a corrugated metal roof and red-and-white striped low walls. A line of devotees in white traditional clothes walks in procession. Several wear orange or saffron shawls and red scarves, while others wear yellow shawls; one woman in a saffron sari stands at left touching the wall. One devotee in the front carries a brass plate of offerings. Sunlight streams into the courtyard, and a red pole and carved stone pillar stand at right.

A photograph of a temple courtyard with red-and-white striped walls and a grey stone carved pillar on the left. A barefoot person in a saffron-orange robe walks across the concrete floor toward the camera, carrying nothing. Behind them, a man in a white dhoti and white shirt with a yellow shawl stands at the top of a stair. An orange cloth hangs from a red pole, and potted plants and a small clay animal figure sit beside a black table. The corrugated roof and a red-and-blue sign with white lettering appear in the background. No individual's identity is established from appearance, so the saffron-robed figure is described by role only.

A photograph of a temple courtyard with whitewashed walls banded in red. A man in a saffron-orange robe with a shawl descends a short concrete staircase toward the centre of the frame, his hair long and dark. To the left, a carved grey stone pillar with relief figures stands beside hanging orange cloth and a red wooden post decorated with a yellow-and-blue patterned band. Potted plants sit near a black metal table, and a terracotta elephant figure rests on a white pedestal at right. A red metal railing borders the stairs, and a wrought iron gate with a blue signboard is visible behind. Trees and a corrugated roof frame the upper area.

Interior of a long corrugated-roof hall decorated for a festival, with orange triangular pennants and strings of red and orange flowers strung across the ceiling, and tall cylindrical banners with blue, red and yellow patterns and white dove motifs lining the walls. Mats cover the floor. Two figures walk down the central aisle: one in orange robes and one in white clothing, while a person sits near the left wall and a few others stand toward the far entrance. Ceiling fans and hanging lanterns are visible, and framed displays line the side walls.

A barefoot figure in an orange saffron robe and a long rudraksha mala walks across a temple courtyard past a large brass oil lamp burning on a stand wrapped in orange cloth. A tall red-and-white striped temple column stands beside a row of brass lamps and a stone shrine. A second man in a white dhoti and white shirt with a red thread walks in the background past potted plants. White-walled structures, red-and-white painted walls and a tiled stair with a red railing complete the scene.

A photograph of an ashram courtyard with red-and-white striped walls and a red iron gate. Four people in saffron orange robes walk along a paved path and up a short flight of steps. A tall figure with long dark hair in the foreground walks barefoot, and two other monastics in saffron follow behind, one holding a small device. Potted plants sit at the right edge, and a small blue sign hangs on the gate.
