A grey stone relief carving of a seated figure set within an arched niche on a stone wall. The figure wears a beaded necklace with a pendant, a sash at the waist, and large earrings, with one hand raised near the chest and the other resting on the lap. Carved floral scrollwork appears on the left edge, and a stone ledge or pedestal sits below. No people are present; the image shows only the sculpture.2010-01-07December 17 20132013-12-17August 03 20082008-08-03Carved stone relief panel set beneath a dark ornate beam inside a temple. Three small monkey figures are sculpted in low relief on a pale granite slab: one seated at left with its tail curled, a larger monkey in the centre with an arm raised and tail extended, and a pair of monkeys clasping each other at right. Dark carved stone brackets frame the upper corners. Deity murti or architectural sculpture only; no people are visible, and no a person candidate appears in the scene.2008-07-29December 17 20132013-12-17July 29 20082008-07-29Three men in saffron-red sannyasi robes sit cross-legged on pale sand before a rough, pitted rock wall, hands pressed together in namaste. The man on the left wears a white forehead band, glasses, a rudraksha mala and bracelets; the man on the right has white vertical markings on his forehead and bare upper arms and holds a mala. A third man sits in the background near a dark cave opening, also in namaste. The scene suggests a meditation or satsang on a beach. No candidate's appearance clearly matches the a person cues required for identification, so identity is left uncertain.2013-12-17December 17 20132013-12-17A photograph of a reclining stone or bronze-toned deity figure lying on a dark stone platform inside a dim temple shrine.
