A rustic thatched shelter with a dried-straw roof supported by rough wooden poles, open on the front and enclosed at the back by woven lattice bamboo walls. Inside stand stacked sacks, a few red and blue plastic buckets, a metal pot and a steel container on the ground. A white chicken walks on bare reddish-brown earth in front of the shed, with scattered straw and dried sticks on the ground. A small patch of green foliage and a palm tree appear in the background. No people are visible.

Outdoor construction site beside a white compound wall, with a thatched-roof pavilion under construction and a bamboo ladder leaning against its side. Two figures are on the roof near a small tiered tower top. A shirtless man in a white cloth wrap stands on bare red earth in the foreground, surrounded by stacked timber, scattered wooden planks and metal rods. Green shrubs, trees and a flowering plant frame the scene under an overcast sky.

A photograph of a rustic thatched hut with woven bamboo mat walls and a sloping straw roof on bare, dry earth. A woven basket sits near the doorway, and straw is piled on the ground. Three cows stand near tall yellow bamboo stalks on the right, with a metal pot on the ground. A small figure in red clothing is partly visible beside the hut. Sunlight glows through the trees in the upper left.

A dry, open construction site under clear sky. A long open-sided shed with a thatched roof of dried palm or grass sits on a low breeze-block and concrete wall, supported by thin wooden poles. Stacks of cut thatch and bundled wooden planks lie on bare reddish earth in the foreground. A large leafy tree stands at the right edge beside the shed. One person in a white shirt and dark trousers stands at the far left near the stacked materials. No ritual activity, deity, or a person is visible.

A photograph of a rustic thatched structure with a pitched roof and a small finial on the gable, its walls made of woven bamboo lattice panels set on a low concrete plinth. A blue tarpaulin is stretched over a bamboo pole in front, beneath which stand several large dark storage drums and buckets. Scattered rubble, a stone pile and a few trees surround the site on dry, grassy ground under a pale sky. No people are visible.

A thatched-roof open workshop shed under palm trees where artisans are building temple furnishings. A hanging printed banner reading "Nithyananda Sacred Arts" with a portrait is tied to the thatch. Several men in white and dark dhotis or lungis stand and work among stacked copper-toned pipes, a carved wooden throne-like seat with a arched back, a carved stone lion or figure, cut stone blocks, and a wooden cart platform. A blue water container and buckets sit at the right. Clothes hang on lines at the back of the shed.

A photograph of a rural compound with thatched palm-leaf huts beneath a coconut palm. In the centre, a figure in an orange saffron robe stands at the entrance of a thatched workshop, while a man in white clothes works inside. In the foreground stands a large carved wooden throne-like chair with a scalloped back, next to a wooden bench with carved sides. Stone blocks, rubble and a clay pot lie scattered on the sandy ground, and a sack sits at the right edge. The figure in orange is a sannyasi in saffron robes; the features are not clear enough to confirm identity.

Clothes hang on lines, and yellow wildflowers grow at the lower left.
