Outdoor garden shrine with several grey granite deity murti statues among coconut palms and leafy trees, with faint smoke rising in the background. Two men sit on the ground at right in white dhoti-style clothing with yellow shawls, one seated before a low stone pedestal, the other further right beside marigold offerings. A tall standing murti holds an object in one raised hand, a seated figure with a raised hand and a serpent-form stone sculpture stand nearby, and red and white painted pillars line the foreground. A white stupa-like structure appears at right.

Outdoor photo at a stone-carving yard with rows of grey granite deity statues seated on a paved platform edged with red and white striped kerbs. Three people stand with their backs to the camera: two monks in saffron-orange robes, one with long hair tied up and one shaven-headed, and a young man in white dhoti and shawl with a red waistband. Behind them a rocky green hill rises, with an orange-roofed shed and white pillars beside the path.

Outdoor photo at a temple grounds with a large open courtyard lined with rows of black Shiva lingams on white-draped bases. Four people in saffron/orange robes walk along a concrete path; the central figure holds up a bright orange umbrella over another saffron-clad person. Several men in white dhotis and shirts walk behind them on red-and-white kerbed edges. Thatched-roof shrines and a tall flagpole stand in the background under a blue sky with clouds and trees.

A saffron-robed man walks along a sandy path among large grey stone deity sculptures in an outdoor yard lined with palm and banana trees. He wears an orange cloth wrap over his shoulder and matching orange garment, with white-clad men and a few onlookers nearby. Several seated and standing stone murtis, including a multi-armed figure and a figure holding a trident-like staff, stand on carved pedestals. A bearded man in a white dhoti and a man in a blue shirt stand at the edges. The scene suggests temple sculpture work or a sculpture yard.
