Outdoor photo at the entrance of a red-painted building with a sliding metal gate open to a dim workshop interior. A large bronze-coloured standing deity murti with a tall crown, beaded necklace and jewelled ornaments stands on a square plinth in front of the gate. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands at left with his hands at his sides, and a second man in a white shirt and dhoti stands at right, touching the statue's arm. Potted plants line the wall at right. A rectangular sign above the entrance shows a portrait of a smiling person in orange garments with a red beaded necklace and the printed text. Ground is sandy with a paved strip.

A large golden-copper deity murti seated with a tall crown and a snake-hood behind it is being worked on by men. The murti has a copper-toned body with engraved ornamental armour and a raised hand gesture, and a yellow-gold face with red lips. A man in a pale pink striped shirt and blue waist cloth reaches up to adjust a copper element near the crown. A second person in a light blue shirt with a red thread on the wrist works at the lower part of the figure. Reddish-orange walls form the backdrop. The scene shows figures being fitted or polished during preparation of the murti.

A gilded bronze standing figure of a female deity murti, tall conical crown, jewelled necklace, arm bands and waist belt, one hand raised in a gesture, the other hanging at the side, standing on a round base. A hand with a ring rests on top at the upper left, and a person in white dhoti stands behind. Photo shows a ritual or festival setting with a red and gold cloth at the top left.

A man in a plain white shirt and white dhoti with a blue-striped border stands at left holding a dark bronze standing deity murti with a tall crown, flowing hair, and a trident-like staff in one hand. He has a red vertical tilak on his forehead. The bronze figure is wet and glossy. Behind him, a red-draped table holds silver figurines and a tray with white flowers. A man in a light shirt and another person are partly visible at the right and background, and a plain concrete block wall forms the backdrop.

A bronze-toned metal statue of a standing female deity murti with a tall tiered crown, earrings, bangles and a waist sash dominates the frame, held upright by a young man in a white dhoti and white shirt on the right. A second similar statue stands blurred on a white-draped table to the left, with small figurines and a shallow bowl on the cloth. Behind them, a man in orange-red robes stands near a parked vehicle in an outdoor setting at dusk.
