Two men sit on the floor of a workshop working on a wooden object with a metal tool. The man on the left wears a white sleeveless vest and a blue-and-white checked lungi and presses a rounded metal piece against carved wood. The man on the right wears a grey sleeveless vest and checked lungi, holds a small hammer and chisel, and has a red thread on his wrist. A green plastic bottle sits on the concrete floor behind them, with wooden planks and metal scraps around. Carved wooden panels lie in the foreground.

Two men work on a large carved wooden structure on a concrete floor in an open workshop. The man on the left wears a white sleeveless vest and checked lungi and bends over the wooden piece; the man on the right wears a grey sleeveless vest and checked shorts and kneels, holding a small tool. The wooden piece is a rounded, arched panel with raised carved moulding and a finial-like ornament. Scattered wood shavings, hand tools, a green plastic bottle and carved wooden fragments surround them, and a third worker in a white vest is partly visible in the background near a stacked pile of carved panels.

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 white and blue striped polo shirt and maroon lungi squats barefoot on a dusty floor, chiselling a plank with a wooden mallet and chisel. Wood shavings and offcuts surround him, with stacked timber and tools on the ground, a plastic bag, and a red and navy backpack against a concrete wall. A small orange thread is tied on his wrist. The scene reads as a workshop carpentry task.

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 four men seated on a concrete floor in a simple thatched workshop doing hand metalwork on small copper-coloured vessels and bowls. The man at left in a pink checked shirt and white dhoti works on a pink vessel with a tool; a shirtless man in blue checked lungi strikes a piece with a hammer; at right a man in a black shirt and checked lungi tools a rounded pot; and a man in a yellow striped shirt and checked lungi chisels a flat metal plate on a mat. Tools, metal rods, cloth bags, a red chair and a wooden bench surround them.

A photograph of two men seated on a concrete floor in a cluttered workshop, working on a copper object. The man on the right wears a black t-shirt, a blue-checked lungi, a beaded necklace and a wristwatch, and hammers the rim of a copper vessel resting on a cushion. The man on the left, in a white vest and blue-checked lungi, bends over the work and taps with a small hammer. Behind them are stacked jute sacks, plywood sheets, a wooden chair and a white door. Only the two workers are visible.
