A photograph of a stone sculpture yard with grey granite deity murtis and shivalinga bases in the foreground, many with yellowish-white tilaka-like marks. Several monks in saffron-orange robes walk in a line through the middle, with one man in white clothing behind them. Behind them stand two tall white pillars and a backdrop of green trees under a pale sky. The figures are small and the walking group is in profile; no visible candidate is clearly identifiable by appearance, so the a person field is unsure.
