A photograph of a large dark stone deity murti lying inside an open wooden crate during transport. Several men in navy polo shirts and grey trousers stand around the crate, hands on its wooden sides, lifting or guiding the statue. One man on the right wears a navy polo with a small emblem and has a tattoo on his forearm; a woman in a pink and green sari is partly visible behind the crate holding a long white pole. The carved murti shows a broad face, ornate necklace, sash and a decorated base with an animal motif. A red date stamp reading 12 10 2005 appears at the left edge.
