A photograph of a large outdoor ceremonial stepped amphitheatre with red-painted tiers lined with rows of grey stone murti statues of seated figures. Red flags on tall poles line the steps and railings. A larger grey deity murti stands at the upper centre near a red-brick building. On the left, a person in an orange robe sits near rows of small lamps, and on the right several people in white and red-and-white clothing sit among the statues. Trees and a black water tank appear behind the building.

Many men in orange and white dhotis and orange shawls sit cross-legged before the lingams, with brass bowls, flowers and ritual vessels set in front of them. A central raised stone Shivalinga and a dais with a seated figure in gold and orange stand across a large empty pool at right, with red flags along the edges and a pink multi-storey building behind. Several figures in orange robes stand on the steps, and an attendant in white is at the right edge. Ritual abhishekam chanting appears to be underway. The a person field is unsure because no candidate's appearance can be confirmed from the distance.2017-07-24A photograph of a red-tiered stone stairway lined with rows of grey stone deity statues, many seated on animal mounts such as bulls, lions and other beasts. Statues fill the steps, with a large seated figure at the top beside a green shrub and red flags on white poles in front. A chain-link fence and red wall sit behind. No physical people are visible; the figures are statues only, and no living person is identifiable.2016-12-03July 24 20172017-07-24 +1 copiesJuly 24 20172017-07-24September 19 20162016-09-19A large outdoor ritual at a stepped stone amphitheatre in front of a tall white Shiva lingam on a raised pedestal. Rows of people in orange and white garments sit on the red-tiled steps, each before a black lingam on a stone yoni base with brass plates, lamps, flowers and offerings. Many wear orange cloths, some bare-chested with white dhotis, and several stand at the lower level. Orange flags stand along the railings and a red-brick building rises behind. Given the large number of seated ritual participants, this appears to be a group abhishekam or puja at the lingams, with the central lingam being honoured.2017-07-24
