Outdoor photo of two large clay sculptures of feet resting on concrete blocks and a blue-painted wooden board on bare red-brown earth. Dry grass and weeds grow around, with grey stones, a white woven sack and a grey plastic bucket at the edges. The clay is still unfired and rough, showing fingermarks and textured surface detail. No people are visible.

A photograph of a large unfinished clay or mud sculpture lying on a wooden and brick base in an outdoor sandy yard. The form is a reclining figure with smooth rounded contours and tool marks visible on its surface, possibly a deity murti under construction. Red bricks surround the base, with a brick-edged garden bed, green plants, a red bucket and a wooden plank in the background. No people are visible in the frame.

Overhead photo of a children's clay modelling activity on a blue cloth-covered table. Brown wet clay is shaped into small cups, a cylinder, a gear-like wheel and blocky forms. Two child hands reach into the frame from the bottom, and a child's arm in an orange-and-red patterned sleeve appears at the right edge. A green sprig lies at the upper right and a plastic cup of yellow liquid sits at the upper left. No a person candidate is visible.

A close-up photograph of bare reddish-brown soil dotted with sparse green grass tufts and small pebbles. A smooth flat rock sits at upper left, with a few small stones beside it, and several shallow hollows and mounds are scattered across the dirt. No people, deities, ritual objects or structures are visible.

A photograph of an outdoor construction area with raw clay moulds. Several large mud-coated clay forms, shaped like hollow domes or cups with openings, sit on a low concrete plinth and wooden boards. Behind them is a rectangular concrete foundation with a shallow water-filled channel. Scattered cloth, a plastic sheet and a small patch of purple flowers lie on the ground, with red earth and sparse weeds around. No people are visible in the scene.

Close overhead view of a footprint impressed into fine reddish-brown dry soil with scattered small pebbles and a few blades of green grass. The shallow shoe-sole print is the only clear mark, with a purple object visible at the upper left corner and a small blue fragment at the top edge. No people are visible in the frame.

A photograph of a large weathered stone sculpture lying on the ground, partly encased in reddish-brown earth and grit, with a dark sooty patch on one side. Two workers' hands in white clothing are tying or adjusting thin metal wire and rods wrapped around the stone, which appears to be a carved statue being excavated or prepared for moving. A pale stone block sits beneath the piece, and dry soil surrounds it.
