Exterior view of a Kerala-style temple with a sloping terracotta tiled roof, wooden carved gables and a dark plinth, seen from a stone-paved courtyard. A tall gold-painted flagstaff rises beside a metal railing fence. On the right, people stand under a covered pavilion with a grey granite pillar, including a man in a checked shirt and a girl in a blue dress. On the left, a woman in a yellow sari walks near the railing. No identifiable a person figure is visible.

A temple courtyard in Kerala with a tiled roof and wooden pillars. In the centre, a man with long dark hair crowned with pink lotus flowers and wearing a red-pink garland and rust-red dhoti stands with an arm raised, holding an object toward a tall brass multi-tiered oil lamp on a stand. To the right, men in white dhotis and orange-gold garments stand in attendance, one with a gold-and-red shawl and a bearded face, and a woman in a blue sari stands behind. In the left foreground, a bare-backed man with an orange cloth and beaded necklace looks toward the lamp. A stainless-steel vessel and black wrought-iron fencing with marigold garlands sit nearby, and a small signboard reads in Malayalam script.

Photograph of a temple courtyard with a covered pavilion roof of thatched reed and dark wooden beams, a copper-roofed shrine with a golden flagstaff, and a brass bell hanging on a metal frame. Devotees stand and walk on a polished tiled floor. A woman in a white sari with orange border holds a small child, a man in a pale blue shirt and a man in a saffron-orange shirt with white dhoti stand near a blue donation box and an illuminated red-lettered sign. Several people wait at the sanctum railing. A chandelier-like lamp hangs from the ceiling and the ritual setting suggests a Kerala temple darshan.

A large bell hangs from a frame near a blue metal offering box, and a brass lamp stand stands near the railing. Several devotees move through the paved courtyard: a man in an orange lungi and checked shirt, men in white mundus and a man in a light blue shirt, and women in white saris with orange borders, one carrying a small child. A red illuminated sign above reads 'Arathe'. The tiled roof overhead is dark wood and metal. No a person is visible among the people in the scene.

A green-leaved tree with pink flowers frames a view of an old red-walled building with a terracotta tiled roof and wooden pillars and grilled windows. A hanging oil lamp is suspended beneath the eaves, and a stone-built structure with a small platform sits at the lower left. A palm frond is visible behind the foliage. No people are visible, and no a person candidate appears in the frame.

Outdoor ashram scene under a tall palm tree with a large woven rattan or wicker lattice wrapped around its trunk. In the foreground a tall ornate wooden flagstaff with gold and orange bands and a finial rises beside a large stone base. A corrugated metal canopy with red and multicoloured hanging decorations and streamers stands to the right. At the lower left, a few people in white and saffron-coloured clothing walk near a pale parasol or tent-like structure, with a brightly coloured cloth banner nearby. Coconut palms and green foliage fill the background under a bright overcast sky.
