A photograph of a grey stone deity murti being cleaned outdoors among green trees. A worker's arm in a cream-coloured sleeve reaches from the top right and scrapes white residue from the statue's shoulder. The figure has a carved face with a serene expression, an ornate necklace, and a raised hand holding a decorated kalasha-like pot near the left. The stone is weathered, with flaking white material and dark patches. A small bird logo appears in the upper left corner. No people are visible apart from the arm, and no a person candidate appears.
