A large polished bronze deity murti seated in lotus-style posture on a metal-fronted base with drawer panels, under a corrugated roof beside a whitewashed wall outdoors among palm trees. The murti has a tall ornate crown, multiple arms and heavy jewellery, and a hand holds a trident-like implement. Several workers in lungis and shirts, one bare-chested, stand around it, one adjusting the figure with his hands. A sack of material sits in the foreground. The image shows a craftsman workshop setting rather than a ritual. No identifiable a person candidate is clearly visible.

At centre stands a large gilded deity murti with a tall crown, raised right hand and ornate gold necklaces, partly draped in a pink cloth. Several men in white vests, lungis and checked shirts crowd around a wooden table and the murti's base, some bending over and handling brass items, oil lamps and cloth bags. The scene appears to show the murti being prepared or worked on, with a blurred figure in an orange-and-white checked shirt in the foreground. No identifiable individual matching the a person description is visible.September 18 20062006-09-18September 18 20062006-09-18September 18 20062006-09-18September 18 20062006-09-18A photograph of two large bronze-coloured deity murti seated side by side under a white tarpaulin, a crowned male figure with raised hand and a crowned female figure beside him. Around them stand about six men and boys. The man second from right wears a long-sleeved white-and-grey striped shirt; to his right a man in orange robes with long swept-back dark hair stands bare-shouldered with an orange wrap, appearing to be a sannyasi in saffron clothing, and the appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person, though the face is not visible enough to confirm. A man in white dhoti and shirt gestures at right. Thatched and tiled structures and greenery appear behind.2006-09-18 +2 copiesSeptember 18 20062006-09-18September 18 20062006-09-18September 18 20062006-09-18
