A workshop storing many temple items, with a seated figure in saffron robes and a rudraksha-style necklace on a carved wooden bench at the center. Four men in white dhotis and shirts stand nearby, some wearing garlands and mala necklaces, while a man in a white shirt with a garland stands at the left facing the seated figure. Around them are gilded deity murtis, a wooden chariot-like cart, carved wooden thrones, brass bells, a tray of jewelry and ornaments, and temple architecture fragments. A person in a saffron sari photographs the scene at the far right. The seated figure in saffron robes shows clothing cues but is not clearly identifiable from appearance alone.
