Two young men sit on a white tarpaulin outdoors on reddish earth, working on a wooden chariot part. The man on the left, in a checked shirt and red lungi, holds a hammer and drives a metal chisel into a wooden strip. The man on the right, in a white shirt and green-grey lungi with a gold border, steadies the wood with both hands. A tape measure, chisels, a mallet and wood shavings lie on the cloth. Behind them a red and white wooden wheel and a blue tarpaulin are visible.

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 young men sit on the concrete floor of an open workshop carving a wooden piece with chisels and mallets. The man on the left wears a white sleeveless vest and checked lungi and steadies the wooden block with his hands. The man on the right wears a grey sleeveless vest and checked lungi and strikes the wood with a small mallet. Shavings and wood offcuts lie around them.

A photograph of two men working in a covered workshop with a concrete wall and corrugated metal sheets. On the left a young man in a white sleeveless vest and checked lungi sits on a green plastic chair, his hands resting on a wooden form. On the right a man in a grey sleeveless vest and checked lungi sits cross-legged and taps a wooden-handled mallet on a metal piece over a wooden frame of planks. Behind them are a rust-coloured copper sheet, a metal bowl, a carved stone panel, a fan and a dark bag. A large copper-tone sheet leans on the right wall. The scene suggests metal casting and craft work.

Two men kneel on a concrete floor working on wooden planks, carving and shaping lengths of pale timber. Both wear plain white dhoti-style cloth around their waists; one has a gold wristwatch and a red thread on his wrist. Wood shavings and chisels lie scattered around them, with several smooth boards laid out in the foreground. No person of the a person candidate type is visible; the scene shows woodwork in progress.

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.

Two men work on a large stacked wooden structure outdoors beside a thatched-roof shed and a palm frond. The man on the left leans over the wood, wearing a blue and white striped shirt, maroon lungi and an orange wristband, using a tool on the top panel. The man on the right sits on the edge of the structure in a white patterned shirt and orange-brown lungi, holding a piece of wood. Wooden planks and offcuts lie around them on sandy ground.

Outdoors at a rural site with thatched huts, palm trees and a red-and-white fence, three men examine a long, smooth wooden instrument resting on a plank table, with a copper-banded end; a flat carved wooden piece lies in front. On the left, a bare-torsoed man in a white vest and white dhoti wears a rudraksha mala and a gold bracelet and gestures toward the instrument. Beside him an older man in a white shirt and white dhoti watches, and a young man in a red striped shirt with a thin chain stands at right. A partly visible fourth person is behind them. No distinctive a person cues are visible; the scene reads as a workshop or craft setting.

A workshop scene outdoors beside thatched huts and palm trees. Six men stand around a long, curved wooden piece resting on a wooden workbench, possibly a carved horn or trumpet-like form with copper fittings at one end. A white-haired older man in white shirt and dhoti on the left holds one end; a bare-chested man in a white vest and dhoti wearing a rudraksha mala and gold bracelet leans over the work; a man in a white shirt stands with arms crossed; a young man in a red striped shirt and checked lungi watches; a man in a cream shirt and a man in a white shirt with a checked lungi work at the right end, hammering the copper-bound tip. A wooden carved piece lies on the bench and a hammer sits on the table. A sign on the thatched hut reads Nithyananda Sacred Arts.

Outdoors at a dirt-yard workshop with thatched huts and palm trees behind, a group of men work on a large wooden board laid flat on a table. A man in a white sleeveless top and white dhoti with a rudraksha mala stands centre, holding a long curved wooden piece. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti at left, a young man with a saffron-orange shawl and a white kurta at far left, and a young man in a red shirt and checked lungi also take part. Tools lie on the wood, including a hammer and a carved wooden piece, with measuring tape visible. A small sign on a hut shows a portrait photo.
