A man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands at a worktable, using a handheld electric polishing tool on a golden carved object resting on a brown cloth. He wears a rudraksha mala with a red pendant and a gold wristwatch. Behind him, another man in white clothing works near a thatched shelter, and stone blocks lie on the ground. The scene is an outdoor workshop for sacred art fabrication.

A workshop scene where a man in an orange short-sleeved shirt and glasses, with a red tilak on his forehead, threads rudraksha beads on a string at a table. In front, a woman with dark hair pulled back holds a finished strand of brown rudraksha beads draped in a loop. The table is covered with a pink, blue and striped cloth, scattered with loose beads, tools, a small plastic box and finished bead bracelets. Behind them stands a dark metal statue of a deity within an arched frame, along with orange cloth and a red chair.

A photo of a craftsman seen from behind and above, working at a wooden bench on a small metal object. He wears a white sleeveless vest and has greying hair; he holds a tool and a small copper-coloured ornamental piece with a circular, petal-like rim of rolled metal. On the bench lie loose metal scraps, a small white container, and a basic mobile phone, with a piece of paper and newspaper beneath. The setting is outdoors in bright light. No a person candidate is visible; only the craftsman is present.
