A photograph of a field of strung prayer flags in red, yellow, green, blue and white, fluttering across dry grassland with a snow-capped mountain peak rising in the distant background under a partly cloudy sky. No people are visible in the scene.

Outdoor temple courtyard with palm trees and a bare sandy ground. A man in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, with a long rudraksha mala around his neck and a bare upper body, walks along a woven mat path toward a raised platform. Behind him, a second man in white stands near a reddish-orange stone shrine topped by a tall pillar and a kalasha-like finial. Garlands of yellow and orange marigolds drape a stone Nandi-style bull statue, and several dark stone deity murti stand nearby. Colourful woven hanging tassels decorate tall poles at the right. A small brass lamp sits on a cushion at a circular stone base at left.

A river flows through a wide, barren valley in high mountain terrain, with brown hillsides and a cloudy blue sky. In the foreground, multicoloured prayer flags in red, yellow, green, blue and white are strung across the frame, their printed text visible. A dark four-wheel-drive vehicle is parked on the far bank, and a single person in red stands near the water's edge. The scene suggests a pilgrimage route.

No people are visible in the scene.

A smiling person in saffron-orange robes and a matching orange turban with a gold ornament waves one hand and holds a long trident-tipped staff, standing among many colourful prayer flags strung across grass near a rocky mountain slope. Behind them a snow-capped peak rises under a clear blue sky.

A group of people walks along a pale stone-paved path past flowering shrubs with red flags and a construction area with stacked stone slabs and a red boundary wall. In front, a man in a red-brown robe with a rudraksha-style necklace walks beside a man in white clothes and a light-blue shirt. Behind them are two men in saffron-orange robes with beaded necklaces, a woman in a yellow kurta, a man in a white outfit, and a woman in a patterned top and black trousers. A man in white dhoti and shawl walks at the left edge. No a person candidate is confidently identifiable from appearance alone.

A windswept lakeshore landscape beneath a cloudy sky. Strings of multicoloured prayer flags in green, red, blue, yellow and white stretch diagonally across sandy ground on the right, tied to wooden poles. Beyond them lies a flat, grassy brown-green plain and a pale blue lake, with distant brown mountain ranges under heavy clouds. No people are visible.
