A photograph of an outdoor stone-carving yard under a corrugated metal roof on supporting poles, with bare dirt ground and scrubby trees behind. Many carved granite and marble pieces lie scattered: round pedestals, lingam-shaped stones, cylindrical bases and large carved slabs. A few men stand near the left side and in the middle; one wears an orange robe and one a bare-chested red-and-gold wrap. Others wear white shirts and white dhotis. Faint overlay text reads pedia.org, which is not included in the text array
