Making Of Sacred Arts UniversityMaking Of Sacred Arts UniversityA man with grey hair and glasses sits cross-legged on a wooden workbench, wearing a white shirt and a yellow dhoti, working on a flat piece of wood with his bare foot pressed to the surface while his hands hold a tool. Behind him stands a large metal plate with an embossed floral design and a paper pattern taped to it. A sheet of yellow cloth lies on the bench beside a metal straight edge. Other people and wooden panels and carved pieces are visible in the sandy background, along with a blue water drum. The figure is an ordinary craftsman and the appearance does not support identifying him as a person.2009-12-19A photograph of an outdoor construction site under an open orange steel-framed pavilion. Dirt ground is strewn with large cut granite blocks, carved stone slabs, rubble piles and scattered debris. A blue plastic chair sits at the right edge beside a stone block. Behind, a white concrete building with water tanks, a railing and trees are visible. No people are visible in the scene.2019-01-20Workshop photo of temple chariot (ratham) wheel construction on a bare concrete floor. Several men in white dhotis and white shirts work around the parts; the man at right, in a white shirt and white dhoti, rests his hand on a large carved reddish-brown wooden wheel hub or cap. Nearby, wooden wheels with carved rims are set upright in wooden bases, with charred wooden logs, chisels, hammers and planks scattered across the floor. No a person candidate is visibly present.2006-09-19A photograph of a workshop at night where a man in a striped shirt and checked lungi bends over a large, dusty grey sculpted figure lying on a concrete floor. He operates a handheld angle grinder against the sculpture, which has a carved, ornate surface with a raised animal-like form at the top left. A small fire glows in the background, and a bundled cloth and lattice wall are visible.Two carved lion vahana sculptures stand on wooden carrying platforms outdoors at a workshop. The left lion is unpainted white-washed wood with a curled tail and open mouth; the right lion is partly finished, with green paint on its mane and fur and metal ring fittings on the wooden platform. Carving tools, a wrench and wood shavings lie on the ground and platform. A road and a white boundary wall are visible behind. No people are present.September 22 20092009-09-22 +1 copiesAugust 27 20162016-08-27Making Of Sacred Arts UniversityMaking Of Sacred Arts UniversityJune 23 20132013-06-23 +1 copies
