January 14 20102010-01-14A 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.2010-01-03January 14 20102010-01-14January 14 20102010-01-14A figure in an orange saffron wrap stands at right in an outdoor temple-garden setting, looking down toward a white stepped pedestal topped with a dark stone base and a garland of marigolds and red flowers.
