Outdoor photograph of a pancha-tapas style sadhana in a garden courtyard with black stone deity murtis on tall pedestals and a green tree line behind. Seven people sit cross-legged on mats in a row in front of the murtis: most wear white dhotis or robes, and the nearest figure wears an orange robe. Their hands rest on their knees or in front of them. Some wear white shawls and one seated figure wears a white cloth over the shoulders. Ground-level ritual fire pits with smoke rise in the foreground, and the scene conveys a meditation or tapas practice.

Outdoor ritual scene in a garden courtyard lined with large grey stone deity statues, palm trees and low buildings behind. Several people sit cross-legged in white clothing on the sandy ground inside circular stone-ringed rangoli-style patterns, with faint smoke rising around them. One woman on the left wears an orange-red sari, another seated woman wears a red shawl over white, and others wear white with yellow or saffron wraps. A tall dark statue of a standing figure holding a staff stands at right. The scene suggests a group puja or homa-style sitting, though no fire pit is clearly visible. Four people are clearly visible seated in front, with several more partially visible at the edges, so the count is in the low-double digits.2010-06-27July 21 20102010-07-21A photograph of an outdoor temple courtyard with a woman in orange saffron robes kneeling in prayer on a white mat, hands pressed together at her chest.
