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 colonnade or veranda with a dark polished floor runs toward the distance. A row of carved wooden columns with ornate capitals stands along the open side, casting long diagonal shadows across the floor under warm sunlight. A white plastered wall with rectangular windows lines the left. Green shrubs and a grassy lawn lie beyond the columns, with a low building visible at the far end. No people are present.

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.

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.

A photo of a covered wooden-roofed colonnade with carved stone pillars on the left, opening onto a lawn with shrubs, and a whitewashed wall with small windows on the right. Around six people walk single file along the dark stone-floored corridor toward the camera: a woman in a white salwar-style outfit with a white shawl in front, followed by several people in saffron-orange robes and white garments. No one can be identified from appearance; the figures are devotees or residents on an ashram walkway.
