A photograph of a temple courtyard at night, lit by oil lamps (deepam) placed along the stone base of a pillar. Three people in orange and saffron clothing walk away from the viewer toward the shrine: two wear orange dhoti-style garments with maroon borders, and one in a long orange robe has long dark hair. Pink fabric and white-and-purple floral garlands hang on the pillars, and a colourful deity murti is partially visible at left. At right, two seated people sit near a brass kalasha and brass lamps on a table.

A man in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl walks barefoot across the concrete floor toward a stone shrine-altar on the right, where a small pot and lit lamp sit. Around him, people in white clothes with orange shawls stand near the doorway and along the wall. A camera operator in white with an orange shawl films from the right edge. Brass oil lamps and ritual vessels are arranged on a striped cloth at the left. Whether the saffron-clad man is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance here, so the role is given as a devotee in saffron.2008-01-03Night-time photograph outside a stone temple structure with carved granite pillars and a red cloth hanging. A bald man in a deep orange-red robe stands at a granite ledge with his palms pressed together in namaskar, facing brass ritual items including a bell, a plate and a small cup. Beside him, a smiling man in orange robes with long swept-back dark hair stands with hands joined, and another orange-robed man with a red vertical mark on his forehead also presses palms together. A man in white clothes stands behind them. On the far left, a figure in orange clothing claps. A colourful umbrella with tassels stands at the left edge, and a dark board listing donor names is mounted on a wall behind them.2008-02-10December 30 20082008-12-30
