Close-up photograph of weathered sandstone bas-relief carvings on a pillar. Three carved female figures stand in tribhanga-style poses, wearing crowns or elaborate headdresses, necklaces and jewelled adornments; the central figure holds one arm bent with the hand near her hip. Their faces and bodies are worn by age and weathering. Carved stone surfaces dominate the frame; no physical people are visible, and no a person depiction is shown.
