Outdoor photo of a temple courtyard with reddish-brown earth and coconut palms. A single seated figure in orange robes with red and white beaded necklaces sits cross-legged on a mat in front of a circular floral-lined ring and small oil lamp, a lotus and floral kolam drawn on the ground. Along the path, rows of stone deity murtis and grey sculptures stand on red-bordered bases, with a tall ringed pole with red and orange banners and a large orange-red stone shrine structure at right. A silver SUV is parked at left and a poster of deities hangs on a wall behind. Two pigeons stand on the ground.

November 12 20102010-11-12 +1 copiesA photograph of an open outdoor courtyard with palm trees and a row of dark stone statues on the left. A person in an orange-saffron robe with a long rudraksha mala sits cross-legged on a mat within a gravel-ringed circle, with a small brass lamp or object in front. Behind is a tall red-orange stepped plinth topped with a black stone Nandi-like bull and yellow-orange garlands, flanked by two tall poles with rope loops. A colourful floral rangoli sits at the bottom of the frame and a rolled mat lies to the right. The seated figure has long hair and distinctive saffron and rudraksha cues, but the appearance is not conclusive enough to confirm identity, so this is a role-based description: a seated sannyasi-like meditator.2010-10-10November 02 20102010-11-02October 31 20102010-10-31 +1 copiesNovember 07 20102010-11-07October 18 20102010-10-18 +1 copiesOutdoor temple courtyard with a seated figure in an orange saffron robe and orange shawl, hands pressed in namaskar, sitting on a mat at the centre of a circular stone-rimmed pit with ash, surrounded by pink kolam floral designs. A black stone Nandi bull with a flower garland stands on a red pedestal at right, with rows of grey stone deity murtis and red name plaques behind. Two cloth banners hang from a wooden pole overhead, and a large palm tree and a village-style building appear in the background. A single person is visible in white near the murtis. The figure has long dark hair and a mala necklace; whether this is the a person is uncertain from appearance alone, so the figure is described by role as a devotee in saffron.2010-11-12November 18 20102010-11-18 +1 copiesOutdoor photo of a seated man in saffron-orange robes and a red-orange rudraksha-style mala sitting cross-legged on a mat within a circular stone-and-gravel bed ringed by white rangoli-style lines on bare earth. Behind him stands a large black Shiva lingam on a red pedestal, draped with garlands and topped by a copper-toned pillar, flanked by two copper curved arches. Dark stone statues line the left side among palm trees, and a small brass oil lamp sits beside him.

A large orange-and-red shrine stands at the back, with a seated deity murti decorated with garlands. In the foreground, a small figure in saffron/orange robes with a rudraksha-style necklace sits cross-legged on a low white platform inside a circular bed of gravel ringed by yellow flowers. A pink and white floral kolam lies on the ground nearby, and a woven mat extends from the left edge. The seated figure's appearance is not clearly distinctive enough to confirm identity; the figure appears to be a priest or devotee in orange robes.2010-11-02A seated sannyasi in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits cross-legged on a small raised mat within a circular gravel-filled ring, decorated with coloured kolam powder patterns, in an open outdoor courtyard. Behind him stands an orange stepped platform holding a black Nandi bull statue garlanded with orange and purple flowers, topped by a tall orange pillar with a garland. A brass oil lamp sits before him. Grey stone deity statues and seated figures line the grounds, each marked with red placards, under palm trees and greenery. A woven mat runs along the right foreground. The figure is a person sitting in meditation or devotion, not an identified individual.2010-10-27A seated man in an orange saffron robe and a rudraksha mala sits cross-legged on a woven mat inside a circular earthen platform bordered with black and white pebbles. Decorative coloured floor designs and leaf-like patterns surround the circle. A brass kalasha-style vessel sits beside him. Behind him stands a dark stone deity murti draped with a marigold garland on a red-orange pedestal, with a tall ceremonial pole hung with coloured tassels, palm trees, and rows of carved stone figures. A printed banner with figures stands at left. The scene appears to be an outdoor meditation or puja space in a temple-like grounds setting.2010-11-13
