Dating back to the 19th century, these statues stand as silent witnesses to centuries of religious devotion and cultural heritage.

The focus on their male likenesses from a side view creates an atmosphere of reverence and contemplation.

It serves as a reminder of how culture can be preserved through generations while still remaining relevant today.
