Outdoor view of carved grey stone deity murtis standing on plinths among other stone sculptures and dry leaves, apparently in a workshop yard. The central standing figure has four arms, a tall ornate crown, a long beaded necklace and a waist-cloth, with a bird-like vahana carved beside its legs. Flanking figures are female deities in crowns and jewellery, one with a lion-like vahana at her side, and a partially visible carved lion or mythical beast stands behind. No people are visible. The photograph shows sculptures being made or prepared, consistent with the ashram's sculpture work.
