An older woman in a white t-shirt and brown wrap sits cross-legged on a dirt floor in a dim workshop, working on a small copper-coloured metal object with fine wires and pliers. Around her lie hammers, tongs, a metal pot of liquid, clay vessels, copper pieces of deity and vahana forms, a plate-like copper piece, and loose wire. A bare-footed worker stands behind her near a stone block. No a person candidate is visible.

A photograph of a metalworking workshop floor with two workers. In the foreground, a person with curly dark hair and a black wristband crouches and holds a thin metal rod over a shallow round metal dish. Beside them, a second worker in a white-and-grey sleeved garment reaches in from the right, holding a tool over a wooden block with scattered metal pieces, discs and cut sheet metal around it. A long thin saw blade lies diagonally across the dirt floor, and tangled reddish and black wire or metal scraps sit at the upper left.
