Outdoor photo of a grassy site with a large group of people gathered in clusters near a low grey stone bench. Many women wear sarees in white, cream, purple and green, and several men wear white shirts. A man in saffron-orange robes stands among the group toward the centre-left. Behind them lies a row of grey stone deity murti and sculptures, including a large elephant-headed figure on the right. Piles of sacks and an orange tarpaulin lie in the foreground, with a cloudy sky and town skyline beyond.

Visible are a man in a white shirt and white dhoti, a man in a dark shirt and trousers, a woman in a yellow salwar kameez, women in saris, and other onlookers in mixed clothing.

An outdoor photo on a grassy hillside with a wide view of distant trees and buildings under a cloudy sky. A crowd of about thirty people stands in a loose cluster around a central figure in an orange-and-maroon robe with a shaved head, near a wooden post. Many wear white and cream clothes; one woman in a yellow-and-pink salwar kameez and a girl in yellow with a braid stand near the front. Behind them is a sheltered area with rows of grey stone deity murtis and carved sculptures, some with multiple arms, and a carved stone railing on the left. A man in a dark shirt walks to the right and a man in a teal shirt stands at left.

Outdoor photograph of a procession walking along a dusty dirt path past rows of grey stone deity sculptures on the right. A woman in an orange-red sari holds a bright orange umbrella aloft over a white-robed figure beside her. A man in a yellow shirt and white dhoti/kurta-style clothing walks in the middle, with a white head cloth, and many devotees in white shirts and dhotis, including a woman in a white headscarf on the left, follow behind. Corrugated shelters and trees stand in the hazy background. Visible people number roughly 20 to 40.

A photograph of an outdoor stone-carving yard under a corrugated metal roof on supporting poles, with bare dirt ground and scrubby trees behind. Many carved granite and marble pieces lie scattered: round pedestals, lingam-shaped stones, cylindrical bases and large carved slabs. A few men stand near the left side and in the middle; one wears an orange robe and one a bare-chested red-and-gold wrap. Others wear white shirts and white dhotis. Faint overlay text reads pedia.org, which is not included in the text array

Outdoor photo of a dusty courtyard at an ashram grounds lined with palm trees and a red brick wall. Several black stone deity murti and sculptures stand on plinths, each with a red placard at its base. Robed people in white and off-white dhotis and shawls walk and stand among them, some holding saffron flags on poles. A purple and white flag flies near the wall, and a tall red metal sculptural arch frames the right side. No one is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance, so no candidate is named.

Outdoors on grass in a rural yard, a group of people in light clothing stands among rows of dark grey stone deity statues displayed beside a red-painted wall. In the foreground a man in white kurta and trousers wears an orange-red shawl over his shoulder and sandals; to his left a man in white with glasses and a rudraksha-style mala stands near a pair of boys. Further back a man in a pale blue shirt and two boys in shirts and shorts look over the sculptures, with a covered shed and trees beyond. The statues are carved standing figures with crowns and raised arms, some lined up along the grass.

Outdoor photo of a grassy yard lined with grey stone statues of deities and figures, set against a tall red brick wall on the left.

Several people in white clothing walk along a dirt path through the statue garden, including a man in white shirt and trousers, a woman in a sari carrying an orange bag, and a man in white kurta carrying an orange bag. A yellow basket sits on the grass, and a cloudy sky lies overhead. Visible people number about 20.
