A photograph of several large bronze-coloured sculptures lying on a table in a plain concrete-block room. The nearest figure is a recumbent statue with a reclining pose, bare feet and a dark patina, and other statues are visible behind it. A standing person in dark red robes stands at the back of the room near a wall with conduit, and a few more people in dark clothing are partly visible at the far left. A fold-out table and a small pink-and-white flower arrangement are visible. The statues appear to be sculptural forms rather than living people.

Photograph of a dimly lit indoor space with bare concrete-block walls. In the foreground are large brown bronze-coloured statues of a reclining figure, lying on a cloth-covered table, with a second statue behind it. Several people stand nearby: a man in a white shirt with a lanyard and eyeglasses, a man in a white shirt with a red and white logo on the back, a man in a light kurta beside a small boy in a yellow shirt, and another man in white near a table with bowls and lamps. The statues are not people and are not counted.2013-10-05A dimly lit indoor exhibition shows a large dark bronze sculpture of a reclining figure lying on a grey pedestal draped with a cream fringed cloth. Behind it, a bronze horse and cart or chariot sculpture is visible. Several people stand in the dim background, including a man in a white polo shirt and white trousers with a small red logo, and a person in an orange-brown robe near the wall. The sculpture is a statue, not a living person.2013-10-05September 04 20132013-09-04September 03 20132013-09-03 +2 copiesA photograph of a long row of dark brown-black wooden deity murti figures lying horizontally on a pink-and-white striped cloth, with their heads and feet extending off the frame, possibly carved wooden statues or palanquin-style figures. Several men in white shirts and trousers stand along the right wall, looking down at the figures, with a wall of concrete blocks and pipes behind them. In the background, more people in white clothing stand and sit near a parked car under bright ceiling lights, with stanchions and a rope barrier in the foreground.2013-09-04Indoor workshop photo of carved wooden deity figures and parts laid out on a peach cloth-covered table, including reclining figures and carved wooden fragments in the foreground. Three men stand at the table: a man in a rust-orange dhoti and shawl with a beaded necklace gestures toward the pieces; in the centre a bearded man with long white hair wears an orange robe and holds a wooden staff-like object; a third man in a rust-coloured shawl and rudraksha mala looks on. Behind them stand gold-painted ritual vehicles and a golden horse-shaped figure, with brick walls and a metal shutter in the background. The bearded central man shows swept-back long hair and an orange robe, which counts as a distinctive cue, though his appearance is uncertain; he may be a person, a probable match rather than a confirmed identity.2013-11-05February 10 20072007-02-10 +2 copiesOctober 05 20132013-10-05A photograph of a cluttered workshop floor where unfinished bronze figures are being made.
