A large grey stone statue of a seated four-armed goddess, carved with a tall crown, necklaces and a jewelled waist ornament, is being finished outdoors under palm trees. A man in a white short-sleeved shirt and light trousers stands on a blue plastic chair, holding a chisel to the statue's raised hand. Another worker in white crouches at the lower right. Power tools, a grinder, extension cords and a plastic chair lie on the sandy ground. The statue is a sculpted deity murti, not a living person, and no printed caption naming a person is visible.
