He holds a yellow measuring tape against a standing deity murti with a crown and ornate jewellery, and a stone rhino stands at his feet. Other carved figures, a serpent-hooded sculpture and a seated female deity murti are arranged along a street with a white boundary wall behind them. The sculptures are deity murtis and vahanas, the statues the page describes being prepared for transport.A saffron-robed man walks along a sandy path among large grey stone deity sculptures in an outdoor yard lined with palm and banana trees. He wears an orange cloth wrap over his shoulder and matching orange garment, with white-clad men and a few onlookers nearby. Several seated and standing stone murtis, including a multi-armed figure and a figure holding a trident-like staff, stand on carved pedestals. A bearded man in a white dhoti and a man in a blue shirt stand at the edges. The scene suggests temple sculpture work or a sculpture yard.2010-01-03Outdoor scene of grey stone sculptures in a garden setting.

Green plants and grass surround the statues, with a small oil lamp on a ledge near the seated figure. No people are visible.A row of grey stone sculptures of deity murtis stands on a sandy path beside a low wall, with banana plants and tall coconut palms behind them.
