A young man in a grey striped shirt and brown trousers sits cross-legged on the ground, bent over and carving a wooden deity figure with a chisel and mallet. Wood shavings litter the blue tarpaulin beneath him, and a red thread is tied on his wrist. Nearby sit a book with a temple cover and a pink and purple cloth. The carved wooden sculpture shows ornate, intricately detailed forms in pale wood.

A man in a striped purple-and-white polo shirt and maroon dhoti sits cross-legged on a tarpaulin in a corrugated-metal workshop, carving a reddish-brown clay or stone sculpture with a hammer and chisel. He wears a red tilak on his forehead and a bangle on his wrist, and looks upward. Nearby lie chisels, a separate carved head or torso piece, rough stone blocks and a sack. The floor is dirt and the tarpaulin is printed with faded lettering. No a person candidate is visible; the page refers to satsang on gratitude, which is not shown in the image.2013-11-29KAILASA FAMILIA PORTUGUESA, PORTUGAL on 2/2/20182018-02-02A man in a white and blue striped polo shirt and maroon lungi squats barefoot on a dusty floor, chiselling a plank with a wooden mallet and chisel.
