He holds a yellow measuring tape against a standing deity murti with a crown and ornate jewellery, and a stone rhino stands at his feet. Other carved figures, a serpent-hooded sculpture and a seated female deity murti are arranged along a street with a white boundary wall behind them. The sculptures are deity murtis and vahanas, the statues the page describes being prepared for transport.
