A photograph inside a long, low-roofed workshop lit by overhead tube lights, with a brick-paved central aisle. Along both sides stand rows of finished and unfinished deity murtis and ritual figures, many gold-toned or reddish, placed on wooden bases and tables. Near the centre-right a man in a white shirt and light trousers stands beside the figures, with a second worker in white further down the aisle. On the left, the edge of a person in white clothing is visible in the foreground, next to workbenches holding tools, cloth and a few small objects. Machinery and a wooden framework are visible on the left. Sheet-metal roofing and mesh-covered side windows frame the space.
