A photo of a workshop where a man sits on the floor in a sleeveless white vest and a lavender-and-white dhoti, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a red thread on his wrist. He is hammering a small gold piece on a metal anvil, with a pile of small beads or grains in a steel bowl beside him. A white Styrofoam-topped table holds more small beads, a mobile phone, a wristwatch and a green plastic bottle. Other tools, a red gas cylinder, a green machine and a cut white paper template lie on the floor.
