Outdoor stone-carving yard under a corrugated metal shelter with rough sandy ground. A woman in a maroon and yellow-striped sari points toward a row of pale grey unpainted stone deity figures standing upright against a wooden pole, with sculpted pedestals and rounded stone bases scattered around. Behind her, two men in saffron-orange robes stand near a white plastic chair, and a shirtless worker in blue is seated at the right edge. Stacked red bricks, a blue shipping container and distant hills form the background, and a loose tangle of electrical cord lies across the ground.
