Making Of Sacred Arts University

A photograph of a metal casting workshop on a dirt floor at night. A glowing fire burns beside a clay mould, and a person's hands grip long iron tongs holding a crucible or ladle of molten metal above a rectangular metal mould. A rusty iron tray and tools lie on the ground, and a corrugated sheet stands in the background. Only two hands and a forearm of a worker are visible, with a bangle on one wrist. No a person candidate is visible in the scene.

A photograph of an outdoor blacksmith at work. A man in white clothing crouches on the ground, holding a hammer with a wooden handle in one hand and tongs gripping a glowing piece of hot metal over a stone anvil. Behind him a fire burns in a bed of dark charcoal, with a white plastic bucket and a woven sack on the left. Iron tools lie scattered in the dirt, and the scene is set on bare earth.

A man in a checked white-and-grey short-sleeved shirt and orange dhoti with yellow border crouches on a paved courtyard, using a handheld gas torch with a blue-and-orange flame to heat a small metal dish set on a brick. Nearby stands a stacked brick hearth holding a metal bowl, a steel drum containing ash and charcoal, a plastic bucket, a blue tub with tools, and gas cylinders in the background. A red thread is tied on his wrist. The scene suggests metal melting or refining work.

A photograph of a man seated on a paved floor working at a small metal brazier. He wears a white sleeveless top, a white dhoti with blue-edged borders, a rudraksha mala, and red wrist threads, and has glasses. He holds a metal tool in the flame to heat a small brown clay or metal dish, while a piece of paper bearing a red and white circular mandala design is set on the brazier. Around him are an orange basin with green-handled tools, a white plastic bucket, metal trays and utensils. The scene appears to be a craft or ritual preparation setting.

A workshop photograph inside a covered open-sided hall where two men work on metal sculpture near a row of deity murti statues. On the left, a bare-chested man in a white sleeveless vest and white dhoti with a red thread on his wrist holds a tool over a metal pot with a blowing torch and burning charcoal, possibly soldering or casting metal. On the right, a man in a blue t-shirt and white dhoti sits cross-legged on a wooden board with tools and a red gas cylinder beside him. Behind them stand gilded and orange-robed deity statues on carved wooden pedestals, with framed religious prints on the wall and garlands at the left edge.

A photograph of a metal casting workshop at night. A man in a white dhoti and checked shirt, wearing a ring and a pink thread on his wrist, holds a long iron tong over a brick-lined furnace glowing orange. Inside the furnace a crucible of molten metal sits in the hot coals. Another long metal rod or pole rises from the furnace, and a worker's shod feet stand at the top edge of the frame. The ground is dusty with scattered grit and debris, and a dark mat lies at the right edge.
