A photograph of a painted mural panel on a wall, showing a lakeside landscape. On the left, a figure with bare upper body and a white dhoti stands waist-deep in blue water, head tilted upward. Beside a large tree in the centre, three figures lie stretched out on green grass, wearing orange-red cloths.

A large framed painting in a brown wooden frame depicts an outdoor woodland scene with blue mountains, a river and tall trees under a pale sky. A blue-skinned figure with a tall golden crown and a garland stands at centre, hand raised, with a second crowned figure in green and gold armour and a sword to the right. Five men in orange dhotis with gold belts and pearl necklaces stand on the left, and two men in white dhotis with drums stand at far right. The painted figures are artwork, not physical people.

A painted mural on a red-framed wall shows a forest scene with a waterfall and yellow-flowered trees. In the foreground, a bearded man with long hair and a crescent-shaped ornament, wearing a leopard-skin wrap and a sash, stands beside a woman in a white dhoti with a red-and-gold border, holding a trident-like staff. Another figure on the right stands on one leg in a balancing yoga pose beside a stream. The painting is faded and weathered, with peeling patches on the wall.

A framed painting hangs on a white wall, showing a teacher seated at the centre on a cloth-covered platform beside a lake. He is bare-chested with a rudraksha-style necklace and holds a book or scroll. Four shaved-headed disciples in saffron-orange robes sit around him, two on the left and two on the right, one holding a fan or cloth. Lotus flowers float in the water, white swans swim in the foreground, and a thatched hut, mountains and green forest form the background.

A framed painted mural on a palace wall, showing five figures in orange dhotis with gold-trimmed waistbands and pearl necklaces, standing near a thatched hut under a tree with hills behind. The central figure wears a tall gold crown and a gold-banded sash, and stands with his arm raised toward another figure who holds a flute to his lips. Two figures stand on each side with arms folded. The scene is a painted depiction, not physical people, so no living persons are present.

A man in a flowing saffron-orange robe and a thick gold necklace stands at right, long dark hair swept back, pointing up toward a wall of large painted panels. Beside him a bare-chested man in a white dhoti and a white sacred thread looks on. At far right a partly visible man in white gestures toward the paintings. The mural panels depict Hindu epic scenes: a figure with a golden crown and blue skin embraced by a forest-dwelling pair in a cave, a bow-wielding blue-skinned hero with a winged attendant beside a palace, and a group of figures in saffron dhotis before a thatched hut. Warm orange drapery and pillars frame the left edge.

A photograph of a corridor inside a palace, with a long wall covered in painted panels showing scenes of royal life, an elephant, figures in courtly settings, and a riverside scene with people bathing beneath trees. Four men walk along the tiled floor, the three on the left shirtless with white dhotis and sacred threads, one older man in white dhoti, and at the right a smiling man in a saffron-orange robe with a long orange-and-gold bead necklace and long dark hair, walking with hands folded. A window niche with a yellow flower stands on the right.
