A long row of grey stone sculptures of seated sages on square pedestals stands on bare earth and grass in front of an orange-walled building. Each figure sits cross-legged with hands in meditation or teaching mudras, wearing a tall conical headpiece, long beaded necklaces and a draped garment. Shrubs, a flowering hibiscus and a bamboo fence surround the yard, with a corrugated roof at the left edge. No living people are visible.
