Indoor workshop or storage hall with a concrete floor and high ceiling lights. In the foreground a large bronze deity murti lies on a pair of stacked concrete blocks, its head toward the left. Behind it stands a man in a rust-brown dhoti with gold border and a matching shawl, and to the right an older bearded man in saffron-orange robes holds a metal rod while several men in brown and maroon robes stand nearby. To the left are a bronze chariot wheel, a gilded stand, a small bronze figure and a silver-toned pedestal. Concrete walls and stacked stones fill the background.

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.

A long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe stands among large brass or bronze temple sculptures under a white tarpaulin canopy. He is looking down at the metal figures, with one hand resting near a gilded piece. In the foreground are the heads of two large gilded deity figures with tall ornate crowns, carved detailing and decorated necks. Several onlookers, including children and a man in a red head cloth, stand behind him beside a rough outdoor work area with bricks and timber. Palm trees and a thatched shelter are visible in the background. Appears to be a site inspection of temple sculptures; possibly a person (long hair, saffron robe) present in person.

Golden-bronze metal statues in a temple-like niche. Centre stands a multi-armed deity murti with a tall crown and ornate jewellery. Left, a figure with a tall crown and raised hand is seated beside smaller figures in red cloth. Right, a seated figure in a red shawl and crown raises a hand in blessing. Statues, not living people; the setting is a plain wall and shrine area.

A row of gilded bronze deity murtis stands on the concrete floor of a plain hall in front of a whitewashed block wall. Two large printed portraits hang on the wall, each showing a long-haired man with a red bindi playing a wind instrument. The statues include a multi-armed figure on the left, an elephant-headed deity at centre, and several other figures in orange, red, pink and white garments. A dark wooden door and a silver truss stand on the right, and a yellow cloth hangs from the top of the frame. No people are physically present in the scene.

Two large printed portraits hang on the white wall behind them. The left portrait shows a long-haired figure with a red bindi, and the right portrait shows a long-haired figure in white with a red bindi and a beaded necklace playing a bamboo flute. A green striped cloth and cardboard boxes sit at the left edge, and an orange door is on the right.

A night-time photograph inside an unfinished workshop with a concrete-block wall, showing a sculpture studio. An elderly bearded man in an orange saffron robe and red sandals holds a long wooden staff and stands at left, facing right. A woman with hair tied back and a red hair tie, wearing a copper-orange shawl with gold border over a rust-brown garment, stands with her back to the camera at right. Behind them stand a partly unfinished wooden-brown statue with a white cloth over its head and a metal scaffold, a metal table holding wooden pieces and stone blocks, and a dark cylindrical container. Floor is pale concrete and a striped pink-and-white bed edge is visible at right.
