Low-Angle Golden Hours
Equatorial overhead light creates high contrast. The purest diffuse tonal values across tea ridges and ancient stone emerge from 6:00 to 7:30 AM.
Respectful Portraits
Always seek conversational consent prior to photographing artisans or estate workers. Flash photography is prohibited inside painted rock cave temples.
Aviation & Drone Regulations
Unmanned aerial systems require Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) clearance. Airspace above religious monuments and wildlife parks is strictly enforced no-fly territory.
