On the left, a man in a striped short-sleeved shirt, a red-brown wide-brimmed hat and a beaded necklace stands beside the pillar. Behind the carved column, two men in white shirts and white dhotis press their hands against the stone, one smiling. In front, a young man in a light grey shirt and grey trousers grips the pillar with a smile. Another man in a dark t-shirt stands among them. The pillar shows relief carvings of animals and figures. Behind them hang red curtains, scaffolding poles and a wooden platform, with an unlit pillar base at the front.2016-04-16December 05 20112011-12-05Close-up photograph of a large cylindrical grey stone column hanging from an orange and tan fabric sling against a clear blue sky. The column has carved vertical grooves and a textured surface along one side, and its flat cut end faces the camera at right.
