Outdoors on a dirt road, a long row of dark grey stone deity sculptures stands against a red brick boundary wall. Figures include multi-headed cobra-hooded forms, a seated ganesha-like figure with trunk, and standing deity murti with raised arms, several with small red placards at their bases. A blue tarpaulin covers one sculpture in the middle of the row. Mature trees, a utility pole and a clear sky frame the scene; no people are visible.
