A photograph of an open-sided thatched structure under construction at an outdoor site. A long, low roof of dried straw or thatch rests on a framework of bamboo poles and wooden posts, with diagonal bracing poles leaning against the sides. Beneath the roof, stacked metal pipes or rods lie on crossbeams above a concrete plinth with red earth exposed inside its perimeter. Palm trees and a leafy branch frame the scene, and a small blue structure appears in the background. No people are visible.

A photograph of an open thatched pavilion under construction at an ashram site under a clear blue sky. Bamboo poles and a lattice of wooden beams support a steep palm-thatched roof. A large circular portrait of a saffron-robed figure with a red head wrap is mounted on the thatch above the entrance. Inside, a worker in a checked shirt stands among the poles, and a person in white with an orange shawl stands at the right edge. Palm trees, green shrubs and a white building with a red roof appear in the background, with construction materials stacked on the ground at left.

A long, low white-washed mud-block building with a thick thatched roof of dried palm fronds or straw sits on bare, sandy ground under a clear blue sky. A grey cylindrical drum lies on its side near the wall, a small tree grows at the far end, and a tall wooden pole with a wire stands at the left edge beside a red-earth path. No people are visible. The scene is an open rural setting with scrub vegetation in the distance.

Beneath it are stacked steel rods and bundled metal bars resting on a low concrete plinth, with a stack of black metal railing sections in the foreground. Palm trees and a parked silver SUV sit at the left and right edges, with a pale wall behind. No people are visible.

A photograph of workers constructing a large triangular bamboo scaffold frame outdoors on a dirt ground under a pale sky. Two men climb the frame, one in an orange garment on the upper slope and another in dark clothing lower down, while a third worker crouches at left tying or sorting poles. Bundles of cut bamboo and dry straw lie on the ground, a blue barrel sits near the frame, and palm trees and low buildings with a red-tiled roof stand in the background. No ritual or a person presence is visible.

A long, low building with a thatched roof of dried grass or palm material and pale whitewashed walls stretches across the frame under a cloudy sky.

A tall palm tree stands behind the building on the left, and a second palm rises at the far right edge. No people or ritual activity are visible.
