Four large dark grey stone statues of standing female figures stand in a garden surrounded by palm trees and leafy shrubs. Each figure wears ornate beaded necklaces, armlets, a decorated waist cloth and a girdle, with hair arranged high on the head. The figures have varied poses: the left one raises a hand in a blessing gesture, while the others hold their hands together or at the waist. A concrete block wall and a coconut palm trunk are visible behind them.

Outdoor garden scene at dawn or dusk with two grey stone sculptures of standing male figures in ornate carved clothing, belts and armbands. The left figure holds a small cup or bowl in one hand and a bowl-like object in the other, with an elaborate topknot. The right figure holds a long-handled implement or staff resting on his shoulder. Palm trees, green shrubs and a low concrete wall surround them, with the sun glowing behind the right statue. These are statues, not living people.

A row of dark grey stone statues stands outdoors among green trees and shrubs beside an orange-red wall. The tallest standing figure, in the centre, wears a crown-like headdress, a beaded necklace and arm bands, holding a long staff. Smaller standing stone figures with hands joined in front of them stand in a line beside it, and a seated stone figure is at the left. A small orange-red shrine ledge is in the foreground. In the background, a person in an orange and white sari walks along the wall. Statues only; no living a person depicted.

Outdoor garden with a row of dark grey stone statues beneath tall coconut palms and a partly cloudy sky. On the left, a seated multi-armed deity murti holds objects in its raised hands and sits on a pedestal. In the centre, a standing male figure with a long staff and a tall headdress stands on a plinth, flanked by four smaller standing statues with hands joined in greeting or holding objects. Red signs at the base of the plinths read, in English, that this deity is undergoing an abhishekam process by Paramahamsa Nithyananda. Green shrubs and banana plants surround the statues.

A faint copyright and attribution line appears in the lower right corner.

Outdoor photograph of a row of grey stone sculptures set against a tall red-painted wall in a dry, grassy yard. Standing deity and figure statues, some with raised hands and one holding a tall staff, stand on square plinths, alongside smaller carved figures, urn-shaped vessels and a coiled serpent sculpture. No physical people are visible; the statues are the only figures and no one in the scene is a candidate for a person.

Five grey stone statues stand in a row on pedestals in front of a red-painted wall, with dry grass and dirt ground in the foreground. The tallest figure on the left holds a long staff or spear upright and wears a crown-like headdress, necklaces and armbands. The four smaller figures to its right stand with hands in anjali mudra, holding objects, and wear jewelled belts and ornaments. No living people are visible in the scene; the statues are sculpted deity or attendant figures in a garden setting.
