An outdoor stone-carving yard on bare red earth holds rows of grey granite-like stone pieces: many round and flat discs, rectangular blocks with carved faces, and several standing figures. Two tall standing deity murti stand in the centre, one with a multi-armed form and a halo-like backdrop, the other with a crown and a mace-like staff, flanked by a seated figure with a bull-like mount. Sacks, sand heaps, a tank and a plastic chair sit in the background, and one man in white walks through the scene.
