The man in front wears a white vest and white dhoti, bent over a flat metal tray, carefully setting small cream-coloured pieces into a raised pattern with a fine pointed tool. Behind him, a second man in a white vest and grey trousers, wearing a rudraksha-style bead necklace and a red thread on his wrist, works on a similar tray. A wooden block sits in front of them with loose small pieces scattered on it, and a metal tray of more pieces lies at left.2013-11-29July 14 20132013-07-14Two 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.

The man on the left holds a figure and works with a tool, the man in the middle works on another piece, and the older man on the right, with white hair and a moustache, wears a rudraksha mala and holds a metal tool. A brass kalasha-shaped vessel stands on the platform behind them, with a stone mortar and metal tools in front. A large black-and-white image of a deity's face hangs on the wall above.
