Close-up photograph of a carved stone pillar panel at a temple, showing three horizontal registers of relief sculpture. The top register depicts a central figure seated on or beside an elephant, flanked by standing attendants holding weapons and staffs. The middle and lower registers show rows of smaller carved figures. At the left edge a partial figure in orange and a person in white clothing are visible, the only physical people in view. The stone is pale grey and weathered.

A person in an orange-saffron robe stands at the right edge beside a carved granite pillar in a temple setting, looking toward the camera with a slight smile. The carved panel on the pillar shows relief sculpture of figures in dynamic poses, including a dancing or standing figure at left, animals and seated figures below, all framed in a decorative border. Blurred stone temple architecture with tiered carved walls sits in the background.

A moss-covered sandstone relief carving on an ancient temple block, set among green jungle foliage. Several carved figures sit in rows on a ledge, some with raised arms, and a figure at the top appears to hold up its arms. The carving is weathered and lichen-stained, with decorative foliage motifs along the lower band. No living people are visible.

Weathered sandstone wall of an ancient temple, its blocks carved in low relief with rows of seated and standing figures, crowned deities and multi-armed forms, with scrolling motifs and foliage above.

A tiered display of black stone statues arranged on white stepped plinths in an outdoor setting, with green foliage at upper left. Seated figures include a bearded sage with long hair and rudraksha-style beads in the front row, a meditating figure with a cobra hood overhead at lower right, and multiple deity murti with crowns and ornaments on higher tiers, some seated with animals such as a bull. No physical people are visible; all figures are sculpted statues.

A row of grey stone deity murti statues stands on terracotta-coloured steps in an outdoor yard, with red and orange flags on poles behind and green shrubs at right. In the foreground a seated multi-armed figure wears a tall ornate crown, and a standing figure at left holds raised hands beside a cobra-hooded piece. A person in orange cloth is partly visible at the top of the steps, near a few more statues. The sculptures are polished in dark granite with fine carved jewellery and headdresses.
