Photo of grey stone sculptures lying face-down or on their sides on reddish-brown earth with sparse grass. Several carved figures with ornate headdresses, necklaces and bangles, hands folded or raised, are arranged among stone bases and slabs. Behind them stand rows of grey stone pedestals and kalasha-like bases stacked in neat lines. No people are visible; the scene looks like a stone carving workshop preparing temple sculptures.
