A life-size brown statue of a bare-chested male figure in a white loincloth stands on a stone base, holding a large round stone or ball overhead with both arms. Around the base are stone mill wheels and cut stone blocks on sandy ground, with a wooden cart wheel, a bamboo fence, thatched hut and trees behind. The scene is an outdoor rural-themed display at the Hyderabad venue. No living people are visible.2010-02-03An elderly woman with grey hair pulled back walks through a dimly lit village courtyard at night, carrying a flat round woven basket on her head and supporting it with one raised hand. She wears a yellow and cream sari with a purple blouse and a beaded necklace, and holds a small bundle at her side. Beside a leafy tree, walls are painted in red and orange and decorated with white kolam line designs. A hanging lantern is visible above, and a man in white clothing sits on a raised red and orange platform at the right edge.2010-09-26Dusk scene outdoors before a low stone platform and a group of grey stone sculptures of standing figures, flanked by dark green foliage and a red wall. Three men in devotional clothing face the sculptures: the central figure, seen from behind with a bare shaved head and bare shoulders, wears a rust-red garment with gold-bordered sash and a sacred thread over the shoulder; the two on the right wear white dhotis with gold borders and shaved heads. The man in white at centre holds a lit oil lamp flame in his hand, performing an aarti-style offering to the sculptures. Loose stones and a small plant are at their feet.2014-10-03September 05 20062006-09-05Outdoor photo beneath a spreading tree with bare-ish branches and green leaves, the ground covered with fallen dry leaves. Two people in white traditional dress with gold borders bend forward to gather leaves. A woman in a white sari with gold border holds a woven basket aloft while standing on the leaf-strewn ground. A small girl in an orange top and red skirt stands at the left edge. No a person candidate is visible, so the page's claim is not supported by the image. The setting is a dry, sunlit grove.2007-02-16Outdoor photo of three people in plain white ritual clothing working near a stone-edged well or water pit in a garden plot. A man with a rudraksha mala around his neck bends over a large stainless steel pot on the ground, and an older woman in a white sari-style cloth leans over a second steel vessel. A third man in a white shirt and dhoti stands behind them. A banana plant with broad green leaves grows to the left, with patchy grass, bare red soil and a small steel plate in the foreground. No one in the scene is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance, so the figures are described by role only.2006-10-07Outdoor photograph of three men walking across a bare dirt ground in front of dense green trees and a low concrete water tank at left. The man in front, on the left, has long dark hair and wears a full-length saffron orange robe with a matching orange shawl draped over his shoulders and sandals. Behind him, a younger man in white kurta and white dhoti with an orange shawl walks beside an older man in a white kurta, white trousers and orange shawl wearing glasses and sandals.2006-10-07December 09 20062006-12-09A photograph of a life-sized figurative tableau outdoors under trees and palms, showing a rural village scene. At left, a bare-chested, pot-bellied figure with a moustache wears an orange and yellow marigold garland and a white dhoti, raising a long staff with a yellow ball at its top. Beside him a woman in a blue and purple sari holds a rope tied to a black cow. A woman in a black and gold sari balances a brass plate on her head, and a woman in a red sari raises her arms. At right, a bare-chested man in a white dhoti holds a large frame drum. The statues are not physical people; the scene is a static exhibit set on a grassy lawn with a wooden railing in the foreground.2010-02-04December 05 20112011-12-05Night outdoor scene with a row of men in white dhotis and white shirts, each wearing a rust-orange shawl over the shoulder and white vibhuti marks on the forehead, hands pressed together in namaskar with eyes closed. Several hold white cloth bundles at their shoulders. In the foreground a figure in an orange saffron garment with bare shaved head bends forward, presenting a woven basket on a bed of green leaves. Behind them, other people in white and orange stand among string lights and decorations.2016-07-18Three people walk across a bare dirt clearing beside green trees and a low white curb. On the left, a woman with long dark hair wears a saffron-orange sari-style wrap and sandals. In the centre, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti with an orange shawl walks with his head turned. On the right, an older bald man with glasses wears a white kurta, white dhoti and an orange shawl, with sandals. A blue bird logo sits on a tree trunk at the upper left. A possible a person candidate is present on the left, but her appearance is uncertain and she is described only by role as a woman in saffron wrap.2006-10-07
