A hazy, misty photograph of a wooded hilltop under a pale sky. Dense green trees fill the lower and middle frame, and a small multi-storey concrete building with a spire-like tower sits on the crest at right. Parked vehicles or small figures are barely visible on the slope near the building, too indistinct to identify. No people are clearly visible, and no ritual activity can be discerned.

Hazy photograph of a hilltop complex seen from a distance across a valley. A large multi-storey building with pink-red walls, white upper sections and a red-roofed tower sits on a forested ridge. Foreground shows utility poles with overhead power lines, a tree at left and a bare hillside. No people are visible in the scene.

A photograph of a dry, scrubby hillside with dense green shrubs and trees, topped by a white building with a flat roof and a terrace wall along its slope. In the foreground, a dry patch of ground holds a low white-walled building and rows of white-painted wooden stakes or posts with cross braces, set among small rocks and bushes. Overcast grey clouds fill the sky and a few utility wires cross above. No people are visible. The scene appears to be a rural landscape near a hill.

No people are visible.

Below, a town spreads to the horizon under an overcast sky with a few birds in flight. No people are visible.

A wide elevated view over a dense town of low rooftops, trees and small concrete buildings toward a tall white gopuram of a Hindu temple at the centre, with several smaller white and grey gopurams visible on the horizon under a pale hazy sky. Green foliage fills the left foreground and rocky outcrop appears at the lower right. No people are visible in the scene.

A large pale granite rock hill rises against a hazy grey sky, its weathered sloping face streaked with darker bands.

Overhead power lines cross the scene. No people are visible. This is a landscape photograph of a rocky hill and surrounding trees, with no ritual, discourse or a person candidate present.
