A young man in a grey striped shirt and brown trousers sits cross-legged on the ground, bent over and carving a wooden deity figure with a chisel and mallet. Wood shavings litter the blue tarpaulin beneath him, and a red thread is tied on his wrist. Nearby sit a book with a temple cover and a pink and purple cloth. The carved wooden sculpture shows ornate, intricately detailed forms in pale wood.

A man in a striped purple-and-white polo shirt and maroon dhoti sits cross-legged on a tarpaulin in a corrugated-metal workshop, carving a reddish-brown clay or stone sculpture with a hammer and chisel. He wears a red tilak on his forehead and a bangle on his wrist, and looks upward. Nearby lie chisels, a separate carved head or torso piece, rough stone blocks and a sack. The floor is dirt and the tarpaulin is printed with faded lettering. No a person candidate is visible; the page refers to satsang on gratitude, which is not shown in the image.

A man in a striped button-up shirt and glasses sits cross-legged on a pink and blue striped rug under a covered porch, working on an ornate gold-coloured headpiece with small metal tools. A plastic lawn chair and a pink foam tray stand nearby, along with a pink sheet, scissors and small boxes holding decorative pieces. The gold piece has embossed patterns and looks like a crown or headdress being crafted or repaired.

Making Of Sacred Arts University

Two men sit barefoot on bare ground working on a metal sculpture. The man on the left wears a white shirt and light blue jeans and uses a chisel-like tool on the metal. The man on the right wears a teal-grey shirt, a mustard-yellow dhoti with yellow border, and a red thread on his wrist, holding a hammer. Behind them sit sacks, copper-coloured pots and other tools on the dusty ground. No deity form is clearly identifiable from this view.

Photograph of artisans carving a pale wooden bull. Two men in white dhotis and shirts sit on the floor working on the carving: the man on the left uses a chisel or carving tool, and the man on the right strikes with a wooden mallet. A third man in the background wears a grey shirt with an orange shawl and has a tilak on his forehead, seated near stacked timber planks. Wood shavings litter the floor.

A photograph of children at a clay modelling activity seated on a blue tarpaulin. A young girl in a green and white striped dress with silver bangles shapes clay with her hands, holding a small cup of water. Hands from several other participants work clay on two wooden boards, forming small figures, rounded forms, a lamp-like bowl and a small seated figure. Adult hands and a purple cloth are at the edges of the frame. Several small clay pieces lie drying on the boards.

A photograph of girls and young women sitting on a blue tarpaulin, shaping wet clay into small figures and forms on flat cardboard pieces. In the foreground a woman in a purple and green sari smiles and works the clay with her hands. Behind her a girl in a pale pink top with a sheer scarf and green skirt leans over the work, and a bowl of water sits nearby. Clay figurines and lumps are arranged on the boards at right. Only partial hands and arms of other participants are visible at the bottom edge.
