Outdoor temple courtyard with dusty ground, palm trees and a row of dark stone deity statues on red-and-grey pedestals. A seated person in orange robes with rudraksha malas sits on a small cushion inside a circular raised platform decorated with white kolam lines, one arm extended, with a brass kalasha or vessel placed before them. A large red stone pedestal holds a white-draped Nandi bull garlanded with yellow flowers. A striped woven mat leads toward the seated figure. On the left, a colourful banner shows several figures in saffron and white. Appearance-based cues: orange robes and rudraksha malas, but the figure is seated at distance and the face and hair are not clearly visible, so identity is uncertain.2010-10-22October 25 20102010-10-25October 26 20102010-10-26October 23 20102010-10-23A seated sannyasi in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits cross-legged on a low wooden platform at the centre of a circular raised pit of dark gravel edged with white and pink rangoli-style markings, with a brass oil lamp placed beside him. Behind him is a large black stone Nandi bull draped with a marigold garland on a red pedestal, and a row of dark stone deity murti figures stand on red-plaqued bases along an orange-brick wall. A woven mat runs from the pit across the sandy courtyard, with palm trees and a corner of sign boards visible in the background.2010-11-30November 15 20102010-11-15December 18 20102010-12-18October 15 20102010-10-15A seated figure in orange robes with long hair and a rudraksha mala sits cross-legged on a mat within a circular floor design of white powder and dark stones in an open courtyard. A brass vessel rests before him. Nearby stands a large black stone Nandi bull draped with a garland of orange and red flowers, beside a row of dark stone deity and serpent figures on red plinths. A tall orange-red column and palm trees surround the courtyard, and a printed poster of a group portrait is mounted on an easel. Two people stand in the background, one in white and one in a sari, with hands folded. A woven mat leads toward the seated figure.2010-11-03November 06 20102010-11-06October 25 20102010-10-25October 15 20102010-10-15
