A photograph of an outdoor metal casting workspace under a blue tarpaulin roof supported by wooden poles, with a whitewashed cinder-block wall behind. Two men sit on the bare ground among large rusted metal moulds and crucibles, pots, and cast metal pieces. The man on the left wears a white shirt and maroon dhoti, and the man on the right wears a white vest and a cloth wrapped at his waist. Scattered chunks of plaster or clay moulds, cylindrical clay forms and a wooden plank lie on the dusty ground, with a young tree and wire mesh visible at the back.

Two men work on the dusty ground: a man in a white shirt and maroon lungi sits cross-legged at left, and a shirtless man in a white vest and checked lungi bends over a tool at centre-right. Around them lie large clay-and-metal moulds and casting vessels, a copper pot, scrap metal and charred timber. A green plastic bottle stands on a concrete ledge at right, and a framed picture is visible behind a green grille at upper right.2006-12-10A photograph of an outdoor metal casting workspace with bare dirt ground and a rough wooden post. A man in a white sleeveless vest and a light blue-and-white checked lungi sits cross-legged on a wooden board, working with a small tool on a metal piece.

Around him lie metal pots, bowls, tools, pieces of stone and scattered debris, with a green wire-mesh window behind him.2006-12-10Outdoor metal-casting workshop under a blue tarpaulin roof propped on wooden poles, with a lattice-walled shed behind. A tall man in a flowing saffron-orange robe with long swept-back hair and a walking stick stands at right beside a large bronze cooking-style vessel on a clay base. Two workers in white dhotis and vests tend a glowing mould or pot near the centre, and a third man in a white shirt and dhoti stands behind them. Scattered copper pots, clay moulds, cut firewood and metal scraps lie on the dusty ground. Whether the saffron-robed man is the a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.2006-12-102009 - Glimpses-From-Sacredarts-UniversityDecember 10 20062006-12-10 +1 copiesA photograph of two men seated on a concrete floor in a cluttered workshop, working on a copper object.
