On the left stands a dark stone deity murti draped in yellow cloth with a red garland and a green cloth behind, sitting on a pedestal with heaped red kumkum offerings. Three men walk single file along a stone-paved path: the front two wear saffron-orange robes, and the one behind wears white dhoti and shawl with a rudraksha mala across the chest and a red waist cloth. Behind them are a reddish-pink wall and a stone slab. A coiled metal object lies at the lower right. The walkers are priests or sannyasis, and their faces are not identifiable.2011-11-07A barefoot man in a saffron-orange robe with a bare right shoulder and a long orange-and-beaded mala around his neck walks across a sandy courtyard shaded by a large banyan tree. Behind him, two other saffron-robed figures and a bearded man in white dhoti and yellow shawl stand near a small table. To the right, a golden deity murti decorated with white and multicoloured garlands stands on a mound of red-painted rock, with a large red-and-white flag hanging beside it. A brass plate with offerings sits nearby. One person stands in the far background near a white structure.2010-02-12A dim stone-walled room with a life-sized statue of a bearded man in a rust-red dhoti and shawl, hands folded in namaskar, wearing a rudraksha-style mala and bangles. Beside it stands a wooden palanquin-like frame draped with white and red flower garlands. In the foreground is a brass tray with puja items, a small brass lamp and a bowl of offerings, plus a brass vessel at left and a raised stone pedestal with flower garlands at right. No living people are visible. The statue is a figure, not a physical person, and no name is legibly printed in the scene.2018-03-01Outdoor photo beneath a large banyan tree with hanging aerial roots. On the left, a bare-chested man in an orange dhoti and orange shawl, with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala, stands barefoot with hands joined in prayer, facing right. On the right, a black stone murti of a seated deity wears an orange cloth, an orange turban-like headwrap, a garland of orange and purple flowers, and a gold-toned necklace; it sits on a black pedestal beside a large red-painted shivalinga-like stone base. Offerings include small brass bells and a brass bowl on a low stone table. A carved silver-toned panel stands at the right edge, and a low stone platform lies beneath the tree. A purple logo appears in the upper left corner.2011-02-08August 09 20072007-08-09November 07 20112011-11-07Outdoors under a large banyan tree with hanging aerial roots, a devotee in saffron-orange robes and an orange head wrap stands with palms pressed together in namaskar, facing a large dark stone statue. The statue, a seated sage figure in orange drapery with a saffron head covering, wears a long garland of yellow marigolds and white and purple flowers and sits on a dark pedestal. A second person in white dhoti and a red shawl stands behind at a distance. In the foreground a brass plate of marigold petals and a small black stone seat sit beside red-painted pedestals and a red-orange puja stone, with loose flower petals scattered on the ground.2009-12-11January 14 20092009-01-14Outdoor photo beneath a large banyan tree with hanging aerial roots. In the centre-right, a dark stone statue of a seated sage wrapped in an orange cloth and garlanded with yellow and purple flowers sits on a dark rocky mound with a silver-coloured arch behind it, and a small brass lamp and offering stand at its base. Two people in orange robes stand on the paved path to the left: one seen from behind with a crossbody bag, and another in orange with a red-bordered cloth, hands folded in reverence before the statue. A small white cloth with a printed image lies on the ground nearby, and another figure in white stands further back among trees.2008-01-14
