A small plain-walled room with a grey metal door on the left and a tiled floor. In the centre lies a large unpolished silver-toned deity murti, a figure with raised arms and a crown-like head, lying on its back on the floor. Around it stand four people: a man in a yellow top and white trousers at the left, a young man in a striped white shirt and dark trousers beside him, and two people in saffron-orange dhoti-style robes on the right. One of the robed figures has long hair tied up with a white flower, a rudraksha mala on the chest and a white ritual mark on the forehead; the other is shaved-headed and bare-chested with white markings on the shoulder. Stone carved panels and clay pots lie against the walls and a plastic water jug stands on a small table at the right.

The silver figure is intricately engraved and appears to be broken into several pieces, including an arm and limbs, with a long staff across it. Two young men in rust-orange dhoti and shawl garments with dark rudraksha malas stand behind it looking down, one holding a small object in his hand. Behind them, several people in white and orange-red lanyard-style scarves watch, and a garland of flowers hangs on a pole at right. A plastic chair sits at left.2013-07-14November 21 20142014-11-21November 21 20142014-11-21A photograph in a large workshop with a corrugated white wall. In the centre a man in an orange saffron robe and orange turban with a beard and vermilion forehead mark stands smiling beside a large bronze deity murti being lifted by chains. To the left a woman in a red and orange-striped sari with an orange shawl and bindi looks on smiling. On the right a bare-chested young man in an orange dhoti with a green border and gold necklace holds a small book. Other men in white dhotis and striped shirts stand in the background among bronze sculptures, a golden arch and a reclining bronze figure in the foreground.2014-10-12Indoor workshop or storage hall with a concrete floor and high ceiling lights. In the foreground a large bronze deity murti lies on a pair of stacked concrete blocks, its head toward the left. Behind it stands a man in a rust-brown dhoti with gold border and a matching shawl, and to the right an older bearded man in saffron-orange robes holds a metal rod while several men in brown and maroon robes stand nearby. To the left are a bronze chariot wheel, a gilded stand, a small bronze figure and a silver-toned pedestal. Concrete walls and stacked stones fill the background.2013-11-05A photograph inside a dim, unfinished hall with bare concrete block walls and overhead lights. In the centre, a man in a rust-orange dhoti and matching shawl wears a long red flower garland with gold-toned beads and a gold-studded belt, and he extends one hand over a large silver ceremonial object lying on an orange cloth, its carved heads and ornate silver panels arranged on the floor. To the left, a woman in a yellow and maroon sari stands with hands raised, beside a man in white dhoti with a rudraksha mala and a man in orange robes. Behind them, a woman in maroon sari stands near a floor rug and a standing fan, and at the right several people in white kurtas and orange lanyards watch. Brass vessels stand near the left edge. The man in orange with the red garland shows cues such as the flower garland and ornate gold-toned belt, but appearance alone is not sufficient to confirm identity, so he is described by role only.2013-09-04February 01 20152015-02-01July 14 20132013-07-14
