A night view of a wide sandy dirt path lit by blue-white floodlights and strings of multicoloured fairy lights. On the right, a red fabric wall is decorated with lights, and banana plants stand along a wooden fence. On the left, a lit open-sided pavilion has a few seated figures in white clothing on the sand, and small distant figures in pale clothing walk along the path. Strands of coloured lights run into the darkness toward the horizon.

A night photograph of an open sandy ground at an ashram-style grounds, lined on the right by a wooden fence with banana plants and a red-walled structure strung with multicoloured fairy lights. Strings of coloured lights run along the distance, and bright white floodlights stand on poles. On the left, a canopy structure sits beside a few small seated figures in pale clothing. The scene is dark and sparsely populated.

Night photograph of an outdoor temple space lit by a bright floodlight, with strings of coloured fairy lights overhead. Ornate gold-painted pillars carved with figures and scrollwork frame a raised dais covered in striped multicoloured cloth, holding kalasha-style brass pots, offerings and marigold garlands. Red and navy banners with white dove motifs hang on a pillar, and banana plants with yellow flowers line a striped runner path. A golden palanquin-like seat stands at the right edge. No people are visible.

A night photograph of an unpaved dirt road at an outdoor event ground, lined on the right by a bamboo fence and green banana-leaf plants. Strings of multicoloured fairy lights and pink and orange bulbs hang along the fence and across a red and white tent canopy on the right. Bright white floodlights glow in the distance on the left, where a few small figures sit or stand near a covered shed. No clearly identifiable person is in the foreground, and the image is slightly blurred.

A covered hall with a red carpet runway between silver metal railings leading toward a shrine. At the far end, a deity murti sits draped in red and gold cloth before a red curtain, with a small figure in white near the shrine. Two women in dark and white clothing stand near the railings, one in a long dark garment and one in a light headscarf. Tall cylindrical banners with colourful geometric patterns and orange fringe hang from the ceiling on both sides. Red-and-white striped pillars frame the altar area, and folding chairs and a table with white cloth sit to the right.

A night-time outdoor ritual preparation area under a thatched and tarpaulin canopy, decorated with banana plants, strings of triangular pennants and marigold garlands hung from a beam. Two orange flags stand at the entrance. Rows of blue-covered mats and seating platforms line the ground, with small clay lamps and pots arranged along the edges. On the left, a red-draped table holds offerings, fruit and a deity murti with garlands. No people are visible in the scene.

A night photograph of an open paved courtyard of interlocking hexagonal stone tiles, lit by white lamp posts and string lights. A white car is parked at the left edge beside potted plants along a low wall with fairy lights. In the background, a pink and white stall or booth is set up behind a metal railing, with a few small figures in light clothing standing in the distance. A bare wooden post stands at the right foreground. No clear deity, ritual or a person figure is visible.
