A framed pencil or ink drawing of a South Indian temple complex hangs on a wall. The drawing shows a colonnaded pillared hall, a stepped tank or pool in front, and tall gopuram towers with carved sculptural tiers rising behind. Two round paper lanterns glow at the upper left and centre. A faint reflection of the room, including a figure standing near the right edge, shows through the glass of the frame. No physical people are clearly the subject, and the lantern and reflection details are the only human presence in the frame.

A framed architectural drawing in black line work on pale paper, shown as a front elevation of a temple with a tall central tower and multiple curved shikhara spires with niches and finials, a gateway tower in the centre, and rows of ornamented windows and pillars along the base. A small red-and-white pennant flies from the top of the central spire. The sheet is mounted on a wooden surface beside a wooden post. A printed caption at the bottom reads Front Elevation, Thwadasa Jotbir Lingas Temple, Oicha Hill, Tangerine area. The image is a drawing, not a photo of people, and no people are visible.

Exterior of a stone temple with a tiered, richly carved gopuram-style tower topped by a rounded kalasha-like finial, its walls covered in sculpted deities and figures in niches. Metal handrails and stairs lead up a side platform at left, and a pillared pavilion with a few small figures stands at right. Overcast sky.
