A photograph of an unfinished wooden figure of a standing male deity murti lying on a dark workbench in a workshop. The figure has a tall tiered topknot, a carved face with closed eyes, bare chest and arms that are still partly unshaped, and a rough, glossy brown finish. Carving tools with yellow and black handles lie to the right, and a partially visible hand with a white sleeve rests at the left edge. Dust and debris cover the floor. No people are fully visible, and the setting is a sculptor's workshop rather than a ritual event.
