Aerial view of a paved courtyard with a white stone kalasha-topped temple model or shrine structure on a raised plinth at left, its carved dome and ornamentation visible. Beside it stands an ornate golden palanquin or ratha-style vehicle with a red-roofed canopy and a decorated golden frame, with several figures in red and pink saris and orange cloth inside it. Parked cars, a small green lawn, trees and a yellow building edge the scene, with a small signboard at right.

A golden ornate ratha-style vehicle, carved with figures and a small white shikhara-topped roof, parked on a paved courtyard. Inside its open shrine, a standing figure in orange robes stands before draped orange cloth, with hands raised near a decorated deity murti area. Several young men in white dhotis and orange-striped shawls stand beside the vehicle, one reaching up toward it, while another person in white walks past on the right. A printed banner along the vehicle's base shows several framed photographs. Yellow building and trees in background.2009-03-03July 07 20092009-07-07October 10 20062006-10-10A decorated wooden cart, a ratha or palanquin-style float, stands on a dirt ground in an outdoor compound lined with palm trees and white buildings. A colourful striped canopy with a kalasha-like top shelters a deity murti dressed in white with garlands, seated on a red cloth backdrop framed by large floral arches of red, green, yellow and pink. A framed portrait of a saffron-robed figure with long hair and a garland is mounted on the canopy pillar behind the murti; the portrait is a printed picture, not a physical person. A small table with offerings and a plastic chair sit nearby, and a bare-legged figure in white appears at the left edge. Striped cloth drapes the cart and green leaves decorate its base.2008-12-24September 09 20112011-09-09August 28 20112011-08-28 +1 copiesOutdoor temple courtyard with palm trees and orange triangular flags strung from a red pole. A man in an orange-saffron robe with long dark hair tied back stands at right, looking toward a golden deity figure mounted on a golden vahana-like carved animal base and draped in red cloth with garlands, placed on a flatbed cart with wooden planks and small wheels. A black portable generator sits on the cart beside it. A copper-coloured tower and a yellow van appear in the background. The man's features and whether he is the figure described by the page cannot be determined from appearance alone, so he is described by role as a devotee in saffron robes.2011-01-21January 03 20152015-01-03July 15 20112011-07-15 +1 copiesAugust 28 20112011-08-28 +1 copiesFebruary 16 20092009-02-16A photograph of an outdoor shrine structure under a corrugated roof at dusk, housing a large figurative sculpture group seated on a raised platform.
