A photograph of a large warehouse-style hall with a corrugated metal roof, fluorescent tube lights and exposed red steel beams. Rows of bronze and gilded metal deity statues line the floor, including a dancing Nataraja-style figure within an arched prabhavali, a standing bronze figure, and a seated golden figure in the lower right. In the left foreground a large bronze seated figure with an ornate crown and raised hands is partly visible. Several people walk through the aisle: a few wear saffron/orange robes, one wears a black head covering and red garment, and one man in white clothes stands near the centre. The scene appears to be a workshop or storage area for statues.2017-03-26A photograph inside a high-roofed workshop with red steel trusses, where a crowd of visitors stands in a line watching a guide. In the foreground a woman in an orange-red garment with yellow borders, wearing a red-beaded necklace and red bangles, gestures outward with her arm toward a large polished brass deity statue on the right, a female figure with a crown and jewelry. Several people in white clothing, green and striped shirts stand among the visitors, including a young boy in a striped yellow-green shirt and a small child in a dark sweater. Hanging chains and a hoist hook appear on the left, with a bronze metalwork piece in the lower left corner and other brass statues along the right. A workman in a white shirt sits near the back right.2015-02-01March 04 20162016-03-04February 21 20162016-02-21A photograph inside a large open-sided workshop hall with a corrugated roof and fluorescent lights, its floor paved with grey tiles. Rows of finished brass and bronze deity statues on wooden bases fill the floor, including standing figures, a seated figure and a cobra-hooded image. On the left a green wooden palanquin or ratha stands beside a shelf with a garland. Several men in traditional dhotis stand in the middle distance; one wears a blue shirt and holds a camera, another wears a red and gold shawl, and a figure in saffron-orange robes stands near the right. No figure is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance.2014-10-12Interior photo of a large warehouse-style workshop filled with ornate gold-finished ritual objects, including a gilded palanquin-like throne, a golden chariot frame and decorated pedestals, with brass and bronze deity statues along the walls. A group of about eight men in saffron and orange robes, several with long hair and rudraksha malas, stand in a loose circle around a table of pooja items. A man in a light blue shirt and white trousers stands among them. One saffron-clad man in the foreground carries a green and pink tote bag.2017-03-26August 23 20152015-08-23February 24 20072007-02-24February 01 20152015-02-01February 01 20152015-02-01A photograph inside a workshop-like hall with a metal gate and tiled floor. On the left, several large bronze deity statues are seated and standing, including a seated figure with a red shawl and green dhoti and standing figures in orange and green garments. In the centre, a man with long dark hair wears a deep red-brown dhoti with a gold-and-orange border, and a long rudraksha-style mala hangs from his neck; he is walking and smiling. Beside him, a man in a white kurta with an orange shawl holds up a phone to photograph the statues. Several other men in dark shirts and white dhotis stand around the entrance. The presence of a person is an appearance-based candidate from the long hair, red robe, and mala cues.2014-06-19August 06 20142014-08-06
