A photograph of a narrow rocky passage leading to an arched stone tunnel entrance in misty hills. Several people in orange robes and white clothing stand on a grassy path between tall dark rock walls, near a red-and-white rope strung along the right rock face. The people are gathered near the tunnel mouth, which glows with light beyond.

A narrow rocky passage with wet dark stone walls and grass-covered brick-paved floor leads toward a stone arched tunnel opening. Several people stand in the corridor: two or three in saffron-orange robes on the left, and others in white and dark clothing near the arch, one man in a dark shirt raising a hand to his brow as if shading his eyes. Mist and light filter in from the far end, with bushes and grass at the top of the cliffs. No deity murti or ritual objects are visible.2011-11-09A photograph of a narrow stone passage cut through dark rock walls, with a curved stone-arched tunnel opening at the far end and grass and damp ground underfoot. Four people in saffron-orange robes walk along the path, with a man in a white dhoti and dark shirt beside them on the right. Two orange-robed figures near the front look toward the tunnel.

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 20112011-11-09November 12 20112011-11-12November 09 20112011-11-09A photograph taken in a narrow rock passage leading to a stone arched cave entrance, with grass and foliage on the path.
