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.

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.2010-02-04A photograph of an outdoor sculpture group on a small earthen bank beside a pond. Several bronze-toned statues of bare-chested men stand on a wooden boat with a white sack-like base, one raising a net overhead and others pulling and reaching. Behind them are red-painted boat-like forms, a palm frond, and a leafy tree. Dense green trees and rocky hillside fill the background. The figures are statues, not living people.2010-02-04A photograph of a life-sized figurative tableau outdoors under trees and palms, showing a rural village scene. At left, a bare-chested, pot-bellied figure with a moustache wears an orange and yellow marigold garland and a white dhoti, raising a long staff with a yellow ball at its top. Beside him a woman in a blue and purple sari holds a rope tied to a black cow. A woman in a black and gold sari balances a brass plate on her head, and a woman in a red sari raises her arms. At right, a bare-chested man in a white dhoti holds a large frame drum.

Four men wear saffron-orange garments; the man in the centre-left wears orange with a red wrap, a man behind him wears white with an orange shawl, and the man on the right wears a red-and-white checked shirt. Several raise their arms and point upward, appearing to chant or call out. No identifiable a person candidate can be confirmed from appearance, so roles are described as devotees and passengers in the boat.2009-02-10February 05 20152015-02-05A photograph of a large gilded metal figure being moved beneath a canvas tent. 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.
