Giant idols of the Pandavas appear at night along the eastern entrance of the historic Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple during the Panguni Utsavam festival in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India, on April 12, 2024. The large idols of the Pandavas are made of wood and fiberglass and represent Yudhisthira, Bhima, Arjuna, Nakula, and Sahadeva. They are decorated with intricate faces with bulging eyes, colorful headgear, and long tresses and nails. Yudhisthira alone is installed in the sitting posture with his right leg on his left thigh. Bhima and Arjuna are the tallest, Nakula is medium-sized, and Sahadeva is the smallest. (Photo by Creative Touch Imaging Ltd./NurPhoto)
