Two men crouch barefoot on a paved brick floor outside, working on a metal piece together. The man on the left, in a blue and white checked shirt and maroon lungi, holds a torch-like flame nozzle with a blue hose and works at the metal. The man on the right, in a red checked shirt and white dhoti, sits on a concrete block and hammers a small metal object with a tool. Metal tools, a metal cup, a reddish cloth and a sheet of metal lie on the ground, with a grey metal fence behind them.

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.

A thatched workshop where artisans shape copper-coloured metal sculptures on the floor. A man in a white vest and white dhoti sits on a low stool at the right, bent over a sculpture piece and working with a torch or tool; a second seated worker in a grey shirt and dark trousers bends over metal pieces; a third man in a plaid shirt and blue checked lungi stands at the back. Scattered around them are sculpted parts, stone bases, copper-coloured figure fragments, a clay pot, cloth and bamboo walls. No deity murti is clearly identifiable and no one is clearly a person by appearance.

Four men sit on a floor in a workshop crafting silver or metal relief panels with hand chisels and tools. Two men on the left and centre work on pieces resting on a wooden board and cloth; the man on the right in a striped shirt and orange lungi works on ornate silver-toned relief figures. Scattered metal tools lie on the floor, and a green industrial machine stands behind them against a white tiled wall.

Four men sit cross-legged on a bare concrete floor in a plain whitewashed room, carving white stone or plaster figures with chisels and hammers. The man at far left wears a light blue short-sleeved shirt and a checked lungi; the second man, barefoot and bare-chested, works on a small figure; the third wears a white shirt and dark lungi; the man at far right wears a checked shirt and shorts and holds a carved piece. Scattered tools, wood blocks, chips of white powder and a pink cloth lie on the floor, and clothes hang on the wall behind them. The image shows craftsmen making sculptures, with no ritual or a person visible.

A photograph of four men working on the floor of a bare, unfinished workshop with a corrugated and thatched ceiling. In the foreground a man in a pink-and-white checked shirt and white dhoti works on a reddish copper vessel, and beside him a man in a yellow-and-white striped sleeveless top and checked lungi strikes a metal piece with a hammer. A man in a grey-and-green checked shirt crouches at right chiselling a flat metal plate laid on a dark slab. Behind them a man in a black shirt bends over a large copper pot. Scattered iron nails, a hammer, a red-and-white plastic box, a small booklet, and burlap sacks lie on the concrete floor, with a red chair against the back wall.

Several men sit cross-legged on the ground under a corrugated-roofed open shed, hand-hammering thin sheets of polished gold-coloured metal laid across cloth-covered sandbags. The foreground man, shirtless and wearing a checked lungi, holds a hammer and punch and works with bare feet on a wooden board. Behind him, others in plain vests and an orange-clad worker continue the same metal-shaping work, with tools and loose metal scattered on the dirt floor. A blue bag and a red cloth lie to the side. No a person candidate is visible, and the page is a workshop scene rather than a satsang.
