A workshop photo of metal statue making under a corrugated roof. In the foreground, two men in white dhotis crouch over a bronze deity figure on a white cloth, working on it with tools. Behind them a taller bronze figure stands partly visible at left. A standing group of onlookers watches: a man in a red and gold garment with rudraksha malas and a sash, a man in white kurta with orange-bordered shawl holding a phone, another man in white shirt and dhoti, and a man in a black shirt filming with a phone at right. A white industrial fan stands at left. Candidate identification is uncertain, so the person in red and gold is described by role only.2014-06-19June 19 20142014-06-19Photograph in a covered walkway beside a temple-style building.
