Outdoor scene of bronze-coloured statues of fishermen working on a wooden boat set beside a low white-tiled wall. Five figures, all bare-chested in short loincloths, handle a fishing net: one raises a net overhead, another gathers net from the water, and others stand with arms raised. Behind them stand red-painted bull or cow sculptures and a palm tree with green foliage. The statues are in the foreground and no living people are visible.

Outdoor scene of bronze statues of fishermen standing on a wooden boat set on a white stone base beside a dirt bank. Five figures, some with arms raised, one holding a fishing net that spills water, are surrounded by greenery, a palm tree and trees. Behind them are two large coral-red elephant sculptures. These are statues, not living people.2010-02-04A photograph of an outdoor sculpture group on a small earthen bank beside a pond.

The bronze-gold female deity murti, wearing a tall crown and jewelled arm ornaments, is steadied by a chain while several men and boys in lungis, shirts and dhotis push and lift it with long wooden poles.
