A photograph inside a workshop with a corrugated roof, fluorescent lights and a whitewashed wall. Three gilded statues stand on a floor of paving stones. On the left, a bald statue in a maroon and gold dhoti wears layered pearl and bead necklaces and maroon armbands, its hands in a blessing gesture. In the centre, a deity murti with a tall crown holds a rudraksha-style object and a trident-like staff, wearing a green and white dhoti and a garland of gold beads. On the right, a smaller figure in a red and gold saree wears a beaded necklace. Around them are tools, pedestals, a yellow bucket and other statues.
