Two tall standing deity murti stand in the centre, one with a multi-armed form and a halo-like backdrop, the other with a crown and a mace-like staff, flanked by a seated figure with a bull-like mount. Sacks, sand heaps, a tank and a plastic chair sit in the background, and one man in white walks through the scene. No ritual is visible, and no a person candidate is clearly present.A large unfinished granite carving of a reclining deity lies on a rocky slope beside a dirt track and a road. The figure, carved in pale grey stone with a crown-like headdress and layered ornaments, rests on its back with arms extended. Near the top right, a small group of people in white and saffron clothing walks along the path, with one person holding a bright orange umbrella. Several white vehicles are parked along the road in the background, and scattered boulders and dry grass cover the ground.2011-01-18February 01 20152015-02-01Outdoor construction yard on bare red earth with many grey stone pieces laid out in rows.
