•  Question what is the copyright status of this sculpture? Please add an appropriate copyright tag, ideally using the whole {{Art photo}} instead of {{Information}}. Is it permanently located in a public place? Then {{FoP-India}} would probably be the best choice. --El Grafo (talk) 09:35, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
•  Comment - As per Yann. This being part of Hindu mythology/folklore there is no copyright associated with it. These are temporary sculptures, created from clay and post worship are immersed in Pond/River water. This happens every year across countless locations in India. - Subhrajyoti07 (talk) 11:27, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

  Thanks for the reply! After that plus a quick web search for folklore India copyright, I'm convinced that we're probably OK to keep this. Interesting topic, though, and there are some voices out there suggesting to adjust copyright laws to "protect" Indian folklore. Something we might want to keep an eye on ...

•  Support This is folklore, so I don't think there is a copyright on this sculpture. --Yann (talk) 09:36, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

•  Comment I have taken the liberty to propose another gallery link. IMHO this is a sculpture, and it fits well into the “Figurines and statuettes” section. --Aristeas (talk) 09:21, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

  Thank you Aristeas. I think this is more appropriate - Subhrajyoti07 (talk) 09:24, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
