A photograph of an outdoor temple courtyard in front of a white building with the sign "Sri Anandeshwara Temple" above a dark entrance. A person seated on a low orange-draped seat with their back to the camera wears a full orange robe with the head covered, facing the temple. Two dark stone statues of standing figures wear white dhotis and orange garlands and flank the steps, which are painted red and white. A small brass vessel and a bed of grey ash sit in the foreground. To the right a yellow banner reads "Sarva Darshana" with a portrait of a person in orange, and a woman in white stands nearby with a black speaker.

A seated devotee in orange robes and a rudraksha mala faces away from the camera, sitting on an orange cushion before the Sri Anandeshwara Temple. The temple has an orange wall, a red-and-white striped plinth and steps, and two dark stone dvarapala statues flank the entrance, one on each side. Inside the doorway, a deity murti is visible under a lit lamp. A white-and-red kolam with floral patterns decorates the ground in front of the devotee, and a brass kalasha sits to the right beside grey ash. The scene suggests a pancha tapas or paadapuja practice, though the devotee is not identifiable from the back view.

A photograph of the Sri Anandeshwara Temple entrance, a white building with a dark doorway framed by two black stone guardian statues draped in orange and white cloth.

Potted plants flank the steps, and a small shrine is visible inside the dark doorway.

A seated figure in orange robes with long dark hair sits with their back to the camera on a circular raised platform surrounded by white stones, facing the Sri Anandeshwara Temple. The temple has red-and-white striped steps and a bordered entrance; two dark stone dvarapala-style statues with orange shawls flank the steps. A small brass kalasha sits beside the seated figure. A row of people in white and colourful clothes sits on the ground at right, and a dark stone bull or Nandi figure with a red flower garland occupies the left foreground. Banners on the white wall include a Kannada-language notice. a person cues: long dark hair and an orange robe with a shawl, seated as the central figure, though the back-turned view leaves identity uncertain.

A photo taken from behind of a person seated cross-legged on a paved courtyard facing a temple entrance. The seated figure has dark hair in a low bun, wears an orange unstitched robe with maroon borders draped over one shoulder, and a rudraksha mala around the neck. In front, a red and white striped low wall separates them from a white and red stepped platform leading to a dark doorway flanked by orange walls. A sign above reads Sri Ahandeshwara Temple. Several people sit at the right edge, and a mat and small offerings lie at the lower left. The scene conveys a seated meditation or pranayama session facing the shrine. The figure's appearance is not clearly distinctive enough to confirm identity, so the seated person is described by role only.

A seated man in orange saffron robes sits on the ground with his back to the camera, his long dark hair tied in a knot at the back of his head. He faces a temple entrance with red-and-white striped steps and a red wall, behind which a deity murti is decorated with garlands and red cloth. A brass oil lamp sits on the ground at the lower right beside him, and the scene is outdoors in a tiled courtyard.

A seated man in orange and maroon robes, seen from behind, sits cross-legged on a mat in front of a temple. A rudraksha mala hangs at his neck and his dark hair is tied up. Before him is a rangoli-like design with a small dark mat and a ring of ash or charcoal. Beyond, an orange-walled temple entrance with white and red striped steps leads to a deity murti decorated with yellow and red garments and flowers. A woman in a green shawl and teal trousers sits at the right edge of the steps. The signboard reads Sri Anandeshwara Temple.

A photograph of a seated figure viewed from behind, wearing orange and maroon sannyasi cloth draped over the shoulders, with dark hair tied back in a low knot. The figure sits on a mat before a red-walled temple entrance with a white-and-red striped stone platform and steps leading to a lit deity murti inside. A brass kalasha or lamp stands at the lower right near ash on the ground. The person's face is not visible, so the appearance cues are limited to hair and orange clothing; a sannyasi seated in meditation or prayer before the shrine. Visible signboard reads Sri Anandeshwara Temple.
