A small group of people stands on a rocky outcrop at dusk or dawn, with a hazy orange-pink sky and distant landscape behind them. Several figures in mostly light and muted clothing are gathered closely, one in a white top near the centre, others in darker or patterned garments. The scene is small and low-detail, with rocks and a pale sunlit horizon dominating the frame. No clearly identifiable ritual objects or garments of a distinctive presentation are visible, so no a person candidate can be confirmed from appearance.

1978 - Arulmigu Arunachaleshwara Temple

A sepia-toned vintage photograph of a rocky hillside path with a worn stone-paved trail winding upward between boulders and sparse scrub. Three people walk away from the camera along the path: the left figure in a white garment carries a small bag, the centre figure in a light wrap carries a large white bundle or container, and the right figure in a pale garment walks behind. Their clothing is simple white and cream, and the landscape is arid and open under a pale sky. A faint photo credit appears in the lower right corner.

A small outdoor group stands on a rocky, sunlit hillside under a pale sky. A man in the centre wears an orange-saffron garment and stands near a large boulder, while nearby figures in white and light clothing gather around him. One person in a dark top sits on the rocks at right. The setting appears to be a rural stone terrain with scattered rocks and dry grass.

The seated figure has a rudraksha-style necklace visible at his chest and a bare upper body. No other people are visible.
