A photograph of a covered stone corridor in an old palace, with a vaulted wooden-beamed ceiling, carved grey stone pillars and moss-stained walls. Three people walk toward the viewer on a tiled floor: a figure in saffron-orange robes with a long garland of beads and a bead necklace, a person in white clothing beside them, and a bare-chested man in a white dhoti with his hands folded at his chest. A hanging lantern lights the passage ahead.

A covered stone colonnade with a tiled wooden roof and carved pillars runs through a palace grounds, lined with green moss on the left wall and shrubs on the right. Five people walk single file down the sunlit path: the central figure wears a saffron-orange robe, a long orange shawl and a beaded necklace; the others wear white robes and white shawls, and the last man is bare-chested with a white dhoti and folded hands. A hanging lantern and a red pipe run along the roof. No clear identification of the saffron-robed figure can be made from appearance alone.

A white-washed wall with low white plinths stands to the left over a worn, mossy stone floor, and a polished dark floor runs along the pillars. A scooter is parked far down the corridor. No people are visible.

A photograph of an empty covered colonnade in an ashram or temple-style building. Rows of tall, slender stone pillars with carved capitals line a stone-floored walkway, casting long diagonal shadows across the polished floor in warm morning sunlight. Beyond the open side lies a lawn with dense green shrubs bearing red flowers, and white-walled buildings with tiled roofs sit in the background among trees. No people are visible in the scene.

A covered colonnade in an old palace compound with a wooden-beamed tiled roof supported by a row of orange-painted wooden pillars. Beyond the open side, dense banana plants with broad leaves, large taro-like leaves, and a moss-stained stone wall. The tiled walkway is empty, with a stack of wooden logs and bundled material at the far end. No people are visible.

A long covered wooden colonnade inside an old palace, with carved dark wooden pillars on the left opening onto a green lawn and trees, and a plain white wall with small windows on the right. A dark polished stone floor runs down the corridor. Four people walk single file toward the distance: a figure in an orange-saffron robe at the front right, and three figures in white clothing behind. The orange-robed figure has long hair and is consistent with a person candidate, but appearance alone is uncertain, so the identity is left unsure.
