A large photograph of a life-size effigy-style figure standing under a open-sided metal-roofed shelter on a paved courtyard. The figure is built from black cloth with a grey-and-white painted head and a grey crested or pleated cloth headpiece, wearing a long yellow marigold garland draped from shoulders to waist. A saffron-orange cloth backdrop hangs behind it and a wooden pallet-like base supports the feet. The figure holds a white painted stick or staff in one hand, while the other hand rests on the hip. Red brick buildings and trees are visible in the background.

August 28 20112011-08-28A large, unfinished Ganesha figure stands indoors in a workshop with an orange cloth backdrop and a yellow marigold garland around its neck. The figure has a black body, an elephant head with a grey trunk and tusks, and holds a wooden and blue object in one hand.
