November 18 20162016-11-18A grey granite statue of a multi-armed deity stands on a small pedestal against a red brick wall with green leafy branches on the left. The figure wears a conical crown, a broad necklace and jewelled ornaments, and holds ritual objects in several hands, with a bull carved beside its legs. A dried red flower and a few petals lie at the base. No people are visible, and the statue is not a person, so no a person candidate is present.2016-12-05A photograph of an outdoor shivalinga set on a stepped stone pedestal in a wooded clearing.
