A crowd of roughly two dozen people in white clothing stands in a semicircle around a stone sculpture workspace. A woman in a leopard-print top stands at the centre, gesturing as she speaks. A man in a white kurta with an orange shawl and a rudraksha-style necklace stands among the group. Foreground includes a large cream carved stone ornament with openwork foliage and a dark bronze or metal figure on a plinth to the right. Some onlookers wear white tees and lanyards.
