Outdoor photograph of three black stone statues on a white-painted rectangular plinth with steps at the front, set on open grassy land with scattered palm and tree cover. The central statue is a multi-armed deity murti seated on a backed throne with an arched halo-like frame, holding objects in its hands and bearing a red mark at its centre. Two smaller standing black figures flank it on either side. A red-and-white telecom tower, cloudy sky and a utility pole with wires appear behind the site, and a faint archive copyright overlay sits on the right.

Bare sandy ground and coconut palms fill the background. No physical people are visible.2010-12-26A large carved black stone statue of a four-armed deity seated on a pedestal in an outdoor garden. The figure wears a tall crown, layered necklaces and a waist cloth. Its upper hands hold a conch and a discus, the lower hands rest in a blessing and a gesture of boon, and a staff-like object rises at the right side. Palm trees, shrubs, a tall grass clump and a plain concrete wall surround the statue on a dirt path. No people are visible. The statue is a deity murti rather than a person, so no a person depiction is present.2009-12-19A dark stone statue of Dakshinamurthy, a form of Shiva as teacher, stands outdoors beneath a leafy tree.
