A photograph of a stone-walled path leading into a rock cave entrance framed by dry grass and ferns. Potted green plants in terracotta pots line both sides of a brick walkway. Two figures stand at the cave opening, one in a white shirt and white trousers and another in pale clothing, partly hidden by a curtain or cloth at the entrance. The figures are visible only from behind and are not identifiable as a person by appearance, so no identity is claimed.

A photograph of a narrow brick-paved path leading into a rocky cave entrance framed by a rock cut through a dry hillside. Clay pots of green potted plants line both low stone walls along the path. Inside the cave mouth, a curtain or drape hangs and a few small figures in light clothing stand near the entrance, too distant to identify. Dry grass and ferns grow on the rock slopes above.2002-05-09A photograph of a rocky cave entrance cut into dark, weathered stone with grass growing along the ledge above. A single man in a white shirt and light trousers walks away from the viewer along a narrow strip of green grass toward a dark wooden-framed doorway at the cave mouth. A curved stone arch edges the right side of the frame. No readable deity or ritual objects are visible, and the man's face is not visible. The scene shows a cave-temple visit setting.2011-11-09November 09 20112011-11-09November 12 20112011-11-12November 12 20112011-11-12A photograph of a narrow rock-cut passage leading to a dark cave entrance framed by two pillars.

No people are visible in the scene.2011-11-09A photograph of a narrow rock-cut passage leading to a dark cave entrance framed by two wooden posts. The walls are grey and dark stone streaked with moss, with grass and small plants growing from cracks above. A strip of green moss-covered ground runs down the centre toward the opening.

Around seven people walk down the green-mossed path toward the cave mouth: a man in a maroon shirt and khaki trousers crouches at the front with his hands near the ground, and several men wear saffron and orange robes, one with a shawl, while others wear white dhotis and shirts. Sunlight falls from an opening in the rock overhead. The scene is a visit to a cave shrine.2011-11-12November 09 20112011-11-09
