Men at an outdoor site install dark stone statues of seated deities. A man in a white t-shirt and jeans steadies a large grey deity murti hanging from a rope, while another man in a grey shirt and white trousers kneels to set a stone base. A third man in white kneels behind them. Several more carved grey stone figures stand along the right side, a red-and-white painted pedestal near the foreground. Dry earth, trees, and a fence line form the background.
