Outdoor photograph of a weathered grey stone shivalinga set in a circular stone base with scattered orange and white flowers on its platform, in front of a pink-plastered wall with an arched niche. Behind it, several men in saffron-red robes stand on a paved path; one tall man with long dark hair, a crown-like headpiece absent, wears a red robe with yellow borders and a multi-strand beaded necklace. Beside him a bald man in red robes with rudraksha malas stands near an orange umbrella. On the left an older figure in red robes and a dark head covering stands beside a woman in orange. Two younger men in blue and red shirts stand in the background, and a man in red holds a camera. On the right edge a red stone deity statue with a flower is partly visible.2014-03-14June 04 20062006-06-04Outdoor photo beside a dark, wet rock cliff face and a stone-arched tunnel opening on a grassy path. In the centre, a barefoot figure in an orange robe with a long rudraksha mala raises both arms in an expressive gesture while standing before the tunnel. Around them, several people in orange and red clothing stand close; a woman in a red top and orange sari holds a sheet of paper, and a man in orange holds a small metal pot. On the right, a man in a white striped shirt stands with his back to the camera. Greenery and tall grass frame the background.2011-11-12Photograph of an arched doorway in a whitewashed wall with a corrugated metal roof overhead and a red and orange cloth canopy at the right edge. Several men stand and move through the archway and down a concrete step. In the centre, a man wears a maroon dhoti with a gold-bordered cloth and a red turban, with beaded malas around his neck. Beside him, a man in a white dhoti with a gold border and a long rudraksha mala walks barefoot. At left, a man in saffron robes and an orange head wrap stands on the step. At right, a bald man in a maroon and gold-bordered dhoti with arm bands stands near the doorway, and another man in saffron stands behind him. Their presence suggests a sacred or ashram setting, with no visible ritual activity.2015-09-14Outdoor procession scene beside a weathered pink-plastered wall.
